Excellent experience

Excellent experience. Darren was superb in sorting out my full Di2 upgrade on my road bike. He went above and beyond to sort out everything that needed sorting. Highly recommended and I will definitely be using his services again.

Velo Care offers a pro service quality…

Velo Care offers a pro service quality for those discerning cyclists looking to look after their bikes for years to come. Darren has done various work for me over the past few years inc. full group set change, obligatory servicing and also fixed problems which wear and tear have thrown at me such as broken bottom bracket and requiring more brake power. At Velo Care you get great service. The webpage provides clear booking options and simple payment methods and if you need to contact further with queries a reply is received in a timely manner. After servicing your bike has that 'new bike day' feel which is lovely. Darren is great bike mechanic on top of just being a decent bloke.

Excellent service.

Nothings too much bother for Darren, having been let down by local shops and others before look no further - Darren always sorts it. Wouldn't trust anyone else.

Faultless care and attention

If you want your bike serviced by someone who knows their stuff and really cares, Darren is your man. Always on time, always takes his time and won’t rest until the last tiny imperfections are resolved. I literally can’t fault the service. Perfect 👍🏻

Fantastic service - highly recommended

When you think you need a new bike just book in with Darren and save your money! ;-) He’ll make your bike run as smoothly as ever. The service is so convenient. You get your bike fixed literally on your doorstep and get it back in no time looking like new. He has serviced/fixed all our household’s bikes now - small kiddos one to racing machine. Highly recommended! One happy returning customer.

Great service and very convenient

My road bike was in a bad way and Darren did a great job bringing it back to life. Online booking works well and mobile service at home saves so much time. My bike is now once again a joy to ride, already booked in for the next one. Highly recommended.
