Repairs and Servicing

After Sales Support

At Cycle Works, we believe that servicing or repairing your bike is just as important as buying the right bike. After all, your safety, comfort and investment is in the hands of the mechanic you choose to service your bike… whether it’s a $500 family bike or your $8,000 pride and joy.

We have trained, experienced mechanics and we work to a system. We use professional quality tools, we service to manufacturers specifications and we use genuine or better quality parts.

Servicing and repairs for all makes and models

All new bikes go through an initial wear in phase. After this period (usually within one to two months) a light service is important to ensure proper gear and brake function, as well as the overall safety and performance of your new bike.

We include this initial service, as well as a complimentary ‘General Service’ to be used within 12 months of your purchase.

Our fully equipped workshop and expert mechanics are able to service all bikes as well as most suspension forks, shocks and ‘Dropper’ posts. Feel free to drop by or call us to discuss what we can offer for your bike.

Great staff and easy to deal with. The boys at Cycle Works are always happy to help whether it’s a big or small job. The perfect Local Bike Shop.

Hands down best bike shop in Melbourne. Couple years ago Vlad offered me a gel when I was bonking and had no money – not a lot of bike shops would do that! About a week ago when I started to get back into cycling Vlad hooked me up with a free Cycle Works bottle when he noticed I was just using a plastic bottle! These guys really go beyond what they have to do; I’d recommend anyone to give Cycle Works a shot!

Wilson Wu

Purchased a bike elsewhere and had nothing but trouble until I took it to this shop. The staff are super friendly and happy to help you out with anything you need to know. And best of all I haven’t had any issues with the bike since taking it to this shop. Would highly recommend using these guys.

Finding a good bike shop is just as hard as finding a good car mechanic, and these guys are the best. Prompt service, an abundance of knowledge and very fair pricing. Could not recommend them more.
