Essential Bike Tune-Up in Jersey City | The Jersey City Bicycle Company
$149.00
Your bike, riding quiet, smooth and steady again.
You notice it on your way to work or halfway through a Sunday ride: a brake that rubs, a wobble you can’t place, a noise that wasn’t there last month. Or it’s simply been more than a year since anyone looked after your bike properly.
You shouldn’t have to think about it. Our Tune is the service most riders need once or twice a year, and it covers everything that keeps your bike riding the way it should. You hand it over, and we take care of the details.
What’s included
- Front and rear brakes adjusted
- Wheels trued
- Headset adjusted
- Bottom bracket adjusted
- Chain tension set
- Full drivetrain and pivot lubrication
- Tires set to the right pressure
- An extended safety inspection, and a test ride before you pick it up
You’ll know everything before we start. We look your bike over with you, explain what we find in plain language, and recommend only what it needs. If it needs parts, we’ll tell you the price first.
Your Tune is right for you if your bike:
- Feels wobbly, noisy or less steady than it should
- Hasn’t been serviced in 12 months or more
- Needs more than a quick adjustment
What you’ll notice: steadier handling, confident braking, a quiet ride, and a bike and parts that last longer.
Every bike gets the same care: a well-loved commuter, a kids’ bike, a cargo bike, the bicycle components on your e-bike, or a high-end road or gravel build.
No appointment needed. Bring your bike to our Hamilton Park shop whenever it suits you, or book online to choose your drop-off time.

Frequently asked questions
Why should I trust you with my bike?
We’ve looked after Jersey City’s bikes since 2016. We’re your neighborhood shop in Hamilton Park, minutes from Hoboken.
What happens after I book?
Bring your bike to the shop any time during business hours. We look it over with you, explain what we find in plain language, and give you a clear price before any work begins. Before you leave, you’ll get an estimated pickup time.
How long will my bike take?
During our off-season, most services are completed within 24 to 48 hours. During peak season, turnaround times may be longer. We always do our best to give you an accurate estimate at drop-off, but we can’t guarantee a completion date or time until your bike has been inspected in our repair stand. Inspection may reveal additional issues, and parts availability, special orders, supplier shipping times and shop volume can all affect timing. If anything changes, we’ll always do our best to let you know as soon as possible.
Please note: any turnaround time we give you, before or after drop-off, is a good-faith estimate and not a guarantee. The Jersey City Bicycle Company is not liable for delays, or for any costs or inconvenience resulting from delays, caused by inspection findings, parts availability, supplier delays, seasonal demand or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
Can I get my bike back faster?
Yes. Rush turnaround is available for an additional fee, subject to availability. If you need a quick turnaround or any special accommodation, let us know when you drop off and we’ll do our best to make it work.
How can I check on my repair?
After check-in, you’ll get access to our repair app, where you can check the status of your repair at any time. We’ll also let you know as soon as your bike is ready. Questions? Email us at jcbicycleco@gmail.com.
What if my bike needs parts?
We’ll show you what’s worn and tell you the price before we replace anything. You decide.
Do I need an appointment?
We recommend booking online. We take a limited number of tune-ups each day, and online bookings are guaranteed a spot and get priority in the queue. Walk-ins are always welcome, but on busy days your bike may take a little longer.
