Any shops offering "while you wait" service during the slow season? - The Chainlink2024-03-29T11:44:47Zhttps://thechainlink.org/forum/topics/any-shops-offering-while-you-wait-service-during-the-slow-season?commentId=2211490%3AComment%3A778876&feed=yes&xn_auth=no Most shops, including ours,…tag:thechainlink.org,2013-12-10:2211490:Comment:7793602013-12-10T01:41:30.059Zolloyd1https://thechainlink.org/profile/olloyd1
<p> Most shops, including ours, can accommodate these needs this time of year. One should be sure to have the bike assessed by the shop before the scheduled service just to make sure there is not a time consuming underlying problem, or that parts might need to be ordered.</p>
<p> I have made the mistake of agreeing to quick turn around time in the past, only to find out halfway through the service that matters have gotten more complicated. I.E. dismantling a part for repair and having it…</p>

<p>I've had a lot of stuff done same-day at Roscoe Village Bikes. Stuff like a tune-up obviously will take longer, but quick stuff like brake adjustment, wheel truing, etc. I've had done same-day. Usually I'll walk down the street and get food/coffee/beer.</p>

<p>I should have mentioned it pretty much needs to be a Saturday or a Sunday.</p>
<p>I'm well on my way to losing today waiting for an Appliance delivery. Comrade closed tomorrow....I rarely make it out of work much before 6 on weekdays and I just don't have what it takes to pedal across town at at that time...</p>
<p>Looking to not make two trips.</p>

If that is ALL that is needed. Most shop in the winter should be able to turn it around really quickly. You might want to find a shop & take it by for an estimate. You can then set up a time and they will be able to give you a more accurate time of how long it will take.

<p>Iron Cycles (which seems to be closed on Montrose) did this for me quite frequently. It was a very friendly, customer service bike shop. It's too bad they closed.</p>
