Formby Cycles: Your Premier Bike Service and Repair Centre

When your beloved bicycle needs attention, whether it's a routine tune-up, a complex repair, or a bespoke custom build, finding a trustworthy and skilled service centre is paramount. At Formby Cycles, we pride ourselves on offering exactly that – a comprehensive workshop facility staffed by Cytech-qualified mechanics dedicated to providing expert care for your two-wheeled companion. We understand that your bike is more than just a mode of transport; it's a passion, a freedom, and often a vital part of your daily life. That's why our workshop is designed with transparency and excellence at its core.

Our workshop is not hidden away; it's an open view in-store, allowing you to witness firsthand the meticulous attention to detail and the passion that our mechanics pour into every single job. This environment is not only professionally maintained and highly organised but also staffed by individuals who live and breathe cycling. They possess an intimate knowledge of bikes, from the smallest component to the most intricate system, ensuring your bicycle is in the best possible hands.

Clear Pricing and Unrivalled Service

We believe in fostering trust through transparency. That's why we offer clear, upfront pricing for all our services. Before any work commences, you will receive a detailed cost and time estimate. Our friendly staff are committed to providing first-class service, and they'll keep you informed every step of the way, answering any questions you may have. Once your bike is ready, we'll notify you via call or text and provide a comprehensive service sheet. This document outlines the work performed and offers insights into potential future maintenance, helping you keep your bike in peak condition.

While our typical turnaround time ranges from 2 to 7 days, depending on the complexity of the repair, we understand that sometimes urgency is key. If you're facing transport challenges, we can often arrange for a fast turnaround, working with you to get you back on the road as quickly as possible.

Specialised Suspension Servicing

For those who demand the best from their suspension systems, Formby Cycles exclusively uses official service centres for leading brands such as Fox, Rockshox, and Marzocchi. We utilise fully authorised components, ensuring that your suspension receives the highest quality parts and expertise, all while preserving your manufacturer's warranty.
