Getting your bike repaired
Tell me what the bike is doing, what kind of bike it is and when you hope to ride.
I’ll evaluate the whole bicycle, identify the cause and discuss priorities before proceeding.
Pick up a bike that has been repaired carefully and checked before it leaves the shop.
Know what to expect before the repair.
When possible, I inspect your bike with you, explain what needs attention and provide an estimate if you’d like one. I’ll explain any additional work and provide an estimate before proceeding.
Most repairs are ready within a few business days. During the busy season, turnaround can be a week or more. I’ll confirm the expected completion date when your bike is checked in.
Work done with the care I’d want for my own bike.
Before opening JW Bicycle Repair, I spent decades working in three local bike shops. I built this shop around straightforward advice, careful workmanship and a simple goal: make your bike safe, dependable and enjoyable to ride.
You speak directly with the person inspecting and repairing your bicycle. I keep the parts needed for most routine repairs on hand, explain what your bike actually needs and stand behind the work.
Bikes connect generations.
Some of the best moments in a bike shop are the small ones: sharing how something works, letting young hands help and passing along the satisfaction of fixing something well.
That spirit is part of JW Bicycle Repair. Every customer—from a child with a first bike to a lifelong rider with a favorite machine—is treated with patience, respect and genuine enthusiasm for cycling.
Real work. Real bikes. Right here in Augusta.
A look around the shop—from the parts and tools that keep repairs moving to the bicycles waiting to get back outside.
Worth the short drive for careful bicycle service.
JW Bicycle Repair serves riders from Augusta, Hallowell, Manchester, Gardiner, Winthrop, China, Vassalboro and nearby central Maine communities. Every repair still comes through the same independent shop at 7 Granite Street.
Let’s get your bike ready to ride.
