A full-service bike workshop in Lower Shotover, Queenstown, run by the mechanic Andres, who learned to fix bikes himself from YouTube and then worked as a mechanic in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru before settling in Queenstown. The workshop works on downhill, road, e-bike and kids' bikes, with repairs and servicing.
Customers say the work is quick, the communication good, and the pricing fair. Several say he fits in urgent jobs even when busy, and that last-minute repairs still get done on time. Booking is easy, and one customer says the bike rides better after a service. Others say the work is detailed and careful.
The workshop has an open door for anyone who wants to learn bike mechanics, and Andres says he wants to help people who cannot afford a bike, or who are keen to start but do not know where to begin. Grace looks after the business side, including bookings and communication.
The workshop is at 3 Tudor Lane, Lower Shotover, Queenstown. Our pick in Lower Shotover for a service or repair on a mountain bike before a day on the trails at Coronet Peak or the Skyline bike park.
