SERVICE RATES
as of 09/01/22.

A note on shipping your parts, package with extreme care.
Add packing to keep the parts from moving within the package, pay attention to ends that will puncture
the container. Zip Tie mount bushings. Use plenty of tape on all edges and seams, and buy insurance just in case!
USPS FlatRate Boxes are great for saving $, but they are thin, need to be padded and reinforced with excessive taping.
And please include a work order or note, even if we talked on the phone or exchanged emails.

Service also available for Works Performance, early CR Showa, Red Wings. Ohlins, 78 & later Monoshocks,
most Post Vintage & Modern single shocks, along with install & setup of Race Tech valving products.

Shop is equipped with a Intercomp shock and fork spring rater to help you achieve the best setup possible.

Rebuild Labor
I don't take shortcuts, all rebuilds are completely disassembled except for bladders in AirShoxs with a known service record that test good, all parts are cleaned and inspected for wear and damage.

All jobs, add $30 if muddy and extra cleanup is needed.
The oily grime associated with leaking shocks is ok, but please don't send me work that came right off your bike after running the Blackwater XC)

Machining
$90 per hour plus materials for small parts like bushings and spacers.
If I have to use the local machine shop, their rate is $150 per hour plus materials.

More complex work such as custom steering clamps, axles, etc are best left to the professionals with the right equipment and tools such as my buddy Phil Fuhlman at RCM.

Zinc Plating and Chromating Individual Small Parts
Prices vary according to the condition of the part and amount of preparation time involved.
My tanks and power source are small, for large quantities of hardware, please
seek a commercial plater.

Return Shipping
USPS, FedEx, or UPS, you tell me which you prefer, otherwise I will go with the service that will provide the best delivery time at a reasonable cost. Whether it is FedEx or USPS will depend on distance and weight. USPS is great if a Flat Rate box is used, especially coast to coast, and sometimes regular boxes under 10 lbs depending on location. FedEx gives me the best rates for 10 lbs and over, unless shipping coast to coast and a Large Flat Rate USPS box can be used. You may specify the insurance amount or I will insure up to the amount of the work by default.
S/H is based on actual cost plus $3 if I have to provide a new box to return your shocks, $4 for Forks box.
