Perennial Standard Tune

What to Expect from the Perennial Service Team

Bring your bike in any time; there’s no need for an appointment.

When you arrive with your bike(s) or trike(s), we’ll perform a visual inspection and provide you with an estimate for the tune and repair, including the cost of any parts that may need to be replaced and a time window for turn-around based on our current schedule and the work involved. If the shop is particularly busy when you drop off your bike, we may ask you to leave it so that we can give you a call with your estimate rather than providing it on-the-spot.

We’ll ask for your approval of the estimate before work is performed and can provide information about what your bike “needs now” versus what could wait for your next service if you want to stick to a specific budget.

During the off-season (late fall to early spring), expect to leave your bike for 2–4 days when dropping it off for a tune up. During the busier spring and summer months, expect to leave your bike for 3–6 days or more. While we strive to keep turn-around under a week at all times, there are always 1 or 2 summer weeks when we ask for your patience as our team works at full steam to get you, your neighbor, and your riding buddies back in the saddle ASAP!
