Like most bike shops, we offer basic bike repairs, tune-ups and complete overhauls for your bicycle. For tune-ups and major repairs, we will provide an estimate in advance on the cost of the repair.
We will offer simple bike repairs like fixing flats, adjusting gears, or replacing brake pads for a small fee on the spot. Repair time is limited to 30 minutes or less. Our goal is to get people back on the road ASAP.
Please plan to be patient as our shop and staff can be busy.
DIY Repair Area
As a non-profit bike shop, our bike stands and tools are free to use any time we are open. Shop staff or experienced volunteers can provide a few minutes of hands-on help and advice on your bike repair or project any day we are open.
You need to pay for any new or used parts needed – or ask about Work for Wheels program to trade volunteer time for the cost of the repair.
Mobile Bike Repair clinics come to you
Our shop is located near downtown Everett, but our mobile bike repair clinics bring our volunteers out into other communities. We assist walk-up customers with minor repairs (that take 30 minutes or less) – flat tires, brake or gear adjustments, etc. Upcoming clinics are listed here.
Thanks to Everett Public Library, Mariner Library, Lake Stevens Library and WSU Extension for hosting clinics this year!
E-Bike repairs
We do NOT repair e-bikes. For repairs, we will refer e-bike owners to a shop that regularly works on and sells e-bikes.
Notice: Bikes Left at Shop Policy
We will contact you when your repair is complete. Please pickup your bike promptly. Bikes left longer than 30 days after completion will be considered a donation to Sharing Wheels.
