E-bikes incur an additional $50 fee for any tuneup.

Question 4

How does the booking and cost-estimate process work at Gradient?

Accepted Answer

Customers book through the shop's calendar and provide contact information and a summary of bike needs. The shop responds within 24 hours and may request photos or a detailed questionnaire.

Payment is accepted in cash or card, with digital invoices and text/email receipts provided.
