Midlothian – Edinburgh

Bike Servicing and Maintenance – Mobile Bicycle Mechanic

From only £39.00 (incl. delivery)

All bikes that come through our workshop endure the same rigorous safety checks our own hire bikes get. You’ll be safe in the knowledge that your bike has been serviced and repaired by a fully qualified mechanic at our workshop close to Dalkeith in Midlothian, near Edinburgh.

We strive to offer our customers an affordable, hassle free service, with a friendly attitude. Here’s what we feel makes us stand out from our competitors:

  • Uplift and drop off service at a time that suits the customer within the City of Edinburgh, Midlothian and parts of East Lothian.
  • We’ll fit your own components and only charge for labour, as long as the parts are new or in a good condition and meet all the appropriate safety standards.
  • All bikes serviced by us are safety checked, cleaned, with cables and chain lubricated.
  • We’ll fit your own components and only charge for labour, as long as the parts are new or in a good condition and meet all the appropriate safety standards.
  • We will not carry out any remedial work without the customers consent. We ask a few questions about the bike and give it a brief check before taking it to our workshop. This helps diagnose any problems before the bike is collected. This process does not eliminate, but can avoid costly surprises. Any maintenance advisories or safety issues regarding the bike will be passed onto the customer in writing on return of the bike.
  • We will do our upmost to return bikes as quickly as possible. Often, work can be carried out at our customer’s home, in a driveway, garage or garden… on a nice day! Otherwise, for straightforward servicing we usually require 2 to 3 working days turnaround time or 4 to 5 working days if new parts need to be ordered. Remember: If you already have the part, we are more than happy to fit it for you.
