Bike Servicing
Same Day Servicing
The very best in bike servicing
Scheduled Service Plan
If you rely on your bike to get you to and from work, or you regularly push your bike (and yourself) to the limits during races or training, it is extremely important that your bike is well maintained. A well maintained bike will perform at its best and definitely a more enjoyable ride, not to mention safer.
This is where our Scheduled Service Plan comes in. The SSP allows you to dictate the frequency of your servicing for each of your bikes. For example, if you use your main bike significantly more than your 'fair weather bike', then it may need a service every 6-months. No problem, we can schedule six-monthly services. If you only need an annual service for your 'sunny days' bike but you want it checked over at the mid-way point to keep it tip-top, we can schedule a General Use Slot or 'Work Slot' at the mid-way point to deal with anything 'necessary' only. It is totally flexible and bespoke per-bike.
Don't wait till the sun starts to shine in Spring then try to book a service - those days were stressful and lets face it, not the best way to stay on top of your maintenance requirements! SSP takes away the hassle.
How does it work?
We send you a friendly reminder the Monday before the week of your SSP slots to enable you to give us a heads up on what's needed for that particular slot or in-fact to delay it. You can even swap slots between bikes, or give a slot to your mate who didn't plan ahead and can't get in anywhere for a service!
Priority Client
SSP is totally flexible and we do not charge a penny for setting up bespoke schedules to suit your bikes. What's more, SSP customers receive priority on the waiting list for slot swaps or adhoc requirements. Soon as a slot becomes available, SSP customers receive priority on the waiting list.
The mechanics at Big Maggy's have a combined experience of more than 50 years. If you need a minor adjustment or a major service, give us a call or email us with the contact form and get yourself onto the SSP. We service all bikes including eBikes.

Bike Servicing Costs
Servicing & Pricing
At Big Maggy’s, we believe servicing should be honest, transparent, and tailored to the individual bike. No two bikes arrive in the same condition, so pricing can vary depending on the level of work required, component wear, and any additional labour or parts needed to return the bike to its best.
We work hard to keep our workshop pricing fair and sensible, carefully balancing value with the quality of workmanship, tooling, diagnostics, and time invested into every service.
Our standard service is priced at £155 for conventional bikes and £185 for eBikes, placing us broadly in line with industry averages — but where Big Maggy’s truly stands apart is in the experience behind the workbench. However, these are indicative prices which vary dependant on the requirements on each day for each bike.
Our workshop team brings together a combined 95 years of mechanical experience, covering everything from daily commuter bikes to elite-level race machines and the latest eBike technologies. That experience means problems are diagnosed properly, work is carried out meticulously, and your bike leaves the workshop performing exactly as it should.
We don’t believe in unnecessary upselling or surprise costs — just quality workmanship, honest advice, and servicing done properly.
