Types of SFW Repairs

To uphold SFW’s standards of consistency and quality, we do not perform “on the spot” repairs. Instead, we offer two types of repairs.

Lifetime Checkover:

Purchasing a new bike at Superfly Wheels comes with our Lifetime Checkover:  We'll spend 10-15 minutes checking the following:

  • Chain Wear
  • Shifting
  • Brakes
  • Bolts
  • Tires

Upon completion of the checkover, our Mechanic will either let you know your bike is ready to be picked up, or if it needs parts / additional labor to keep you rollin'




Day of Repairs:

  • Availability: 3 first come, first serve slots
    • Available between 11am-3:30pm
  • Basic Tube / Tire Replacement
  • Turnaround time: End of Day


Service Repairs:

  • Scheduling: repairs are worked on in the order in which they were received

  • Turnaround time: varies with number of technicians on duty and the number repairs in the queue
