My name is Dr Nick Marks and I am a Velotech Platinum qualified mechanic and mechanics instructor with 25 years’ experience in bicycle repair and tuition.
I am happy to carry out all types of mechanical repair on all types of bike. The one thing I am not qualified to do is electric motor repairs, but I can work on the mechanical elements of your e-bike.
I charge by the hour – £30 – rather than by the job. I’m not going to rush something like a quoted ‘£20 brake bleed’ just to keep it within ‘time cost’, but I’m not going to dawdle either. If a job goes quickly and easily it will cost you less.
I don’t charge any markup on parts, which also makes it cheaper for you. I work out of my garage (my partner puts up with it) – again this keeps costs down.
All of my work is fully guaranteed. If you’re not happy that’s my fault – I’ll fix it.
I’m a really keen cyclist and the final part of any job is to get on the bike and test it out properly to make sure it’s feeling just right.
