Please note during January and February we are unlikely to be able to offer express servicing.
About our servicing:
We use DataWax products for all our servicing. Please do let us know if you need specific angles maintained (or set) or waxes used. Otherwise your equipment will be set to recommended settings depending on the main use of your skis or board. If you would like a wax used by another brand, please drop that off with your equipment and we’ll happily cater for this.
At present we don’t have the facilities to complete large base and edge repairs (those requiring patches to be cut out and replaced). Significant smaller damage can be repaired using P-tex fillers with repair prices quoted to you on inspection. We recommend every now and again your skis or board have a base grind too which will need to be completed at a larger retailer. Please remember though not to have a base grind completed too frequently as this will limit the life of your equipment.
All payments to be arranged with us here at Hike and Ride. As a small business, our preferred payment methods are cash or bank transfer. But card facilities and PayPal payment are also available. An invoice will be emailed with every service.
Please note we cannot accept walk in drop off at our Shepherds Bush location- times need to be pre-approved.
We do not offer any servicing from our Warwickshire address.
