Sorry but I can only perform a full service to RockShox shocks only as Fox require specific tools that only Fox service centres can purchase.
A lower leg service doesn't involve removal & inspection of the Springs (Air or Coil) or Damper units. We assume the fork is in perfect working order. The cost doesn't include for the repair of non working components within the fork. If the fork isn't working correctly we will inspect it & provide a quote for any additional work to be carried out. All new parts & components will be quoted for on a separate basis.
When you purchase a service from the menu I will contact you with the details you need to send your suspension off to us. I suggest using a Tracked delivery service between 2 - 5kg in weight.
I will return the serviced component/s via a Tracked delivery service. The cost of this is included in the service.
Turnaround time is approximately 5-7 working days.
If you fancy having a go yourself I have a number of tutorial videos on my YouTube channel below.
I have a number of different service kits for sale in my shop. Click shop in the menu at the top of the page.
