Darren did a short notice repair before I departed abroad. Great service at a great price I would thoroughly recommend Velo Care to fellow cyclists

Not the first time, and not the last either!
Not the first time, but not the last either!
Darren serviced both of my bikes, ready for the season.
All cleaned up, greased up, tuned up, ready to smash some Watts in!
Also a great chap to chat about the cycling/tri sport.
I would highly recommend to anyone who need their bikes a bit of tlc, or needs to have a full tiding to keep the machine in shape.
Excellent service provide by Velo-care…
Excellent service provide by Velo-care as always, can't fault Darren's attention to detail and care for the two wheeled pride and joy.
Chapeau!
I very rarely venture into giving reviews, but Darren certainly deserves 5 stars. He has been servicing and upgrading my bikes for several years now and they always look and ride as new once he has seemingly taken everything apart, cleaned and rebuilt it!
Great service and so easy to deal with.
Great service and so easy to deal with.
Second bike I've had serviced by Velo Care and neither of my bikes are straightforward 'off the peg' bikes but both as new after the service was completed.
Highly recommend.
Absolutely love the ease and…
Absolutely love the ease and convenience of booking Darren and have him come to my house. And the man himself is super knowledgable, skilled, helpful and meticulous. Brilliant service - a winner every time. Thank you!
Top man,top job,Darren's the man
Darren was very meticulous and had taken his time when he did a complete full strip down on my Rockshox Recon forks he followed all the required specifications via the trail head website for my forks and made them feel brand new again with all the seals changed and correct fluid levels and air pressure to match my height and weight. Couldn't be any happier no more play in them that's for sure! Will definitely use your services again Darren as I plan to go with a deluxe service for next time! Thank you so much! Very helpful knowledgeable man with a professional set up! Better than what a shop would do that's for sure!
This man’s a magician!
I have used Darren for the past few years to service my Cannondale. It gets a hammering through commuting in all weathers… but every time I get it back from Darren, it feels like a new bike! He is the ultimate perfectionist and takes his time with every detail to ensure everything is 100%. Prices are very reasonable. He’s just brilliant!!
Bike riding like a dream after service
Give your premium bike the service it deserves
Darren is the only man I would use for my premium bikes. He is so knowledgeable, careful and skilled. Just watch him pop a pair of tubeless tires on having tried that battle for yourself. He does what is needed rather than charging as much as possible. His prices are frankly cheap compared to virtually everyone else. I’ve had ceramic BBs on my bikes and it cost less to install than I could buy the part myself.
Great service and would 100% recommend.
Awesome can’t recommend enough
Awesome can’t recommend enough. Darren very professional excellent service. Bikes like new will use again.

Darren does a great job
Darren does a great job. Really impressed with the full service he did on my Gravel bike.
The best around
We have used Darren a number of times. Always does a great job and the bikes feel super smooth afterwards. Everything just works better - this is from a cheap MTB to a pricier road bike…
Honest and reliable
Honest and reliable - what more could you want from a bike mech
10 out of 10
10 out of 10. Once again Velo Care arrived on time and within two hours my bike was as new. No more creaks and poor gear changes thanks to a full service at a great price.
Excellent experience - will use again
Excellent experience with a complete service of a 10 year old Boardman road bike. Darren demonstrated expertise and knowledge (Mavic wheel bearings), fitted new chain, cables and handlebar tape along with complete strip-down. Very happy and will book again for Bike No. 2 in the Spring!
Great service
Great communication, really knowledgeable and my bike feels like new when finished.
Excellent service from Darren
Excellent service from Darren, highly recommended!
