How Much Does a Bicycle Charge for Repairs?

Parts costs add to labor charges. Shops mark up parts to cover ordering, inventory management, and warranty handling. This markup typically runs 20-40% above online prices but includes the convenience of immediate availability and shop accountability.
Getting estimates from Bicycle before authorizing work prevents surprise charges. Good shops explain what work is necessary versus optional, allowing customers to prioritize based on budget and riding needs. Some repairs are safety-critical while others improve performance or comfort.
