Limited Free Service

Sunshine Bicycle Company offers 1 year of limited free service with the purchase of a new bicycle at our store. We want to ensure that your bike is in great working order for you to enjoy. Please take a moment to look over some of the aspects of our service.

Why does Sunshine offer free service?

Our free service is intended to back up our assembly work and guarantee that the bike functions as it should under normal conditions.

What is covered with the free service?

We make minor adjustments needed to keep your bike in great operating condition as it breaks in. This includes adjusting the derailleurs and brakes, adjusting bearings that may have loosened, tightening any bolts, truing the wheels if necessary and performing a safety inspection.

What is not covered with the free service?

Our free service is limited to the minor adjustments listed above. Overhaul work or any out-of-the-ordinary upkeep is not included. Cleaning the bike is not included. Rider positioning or fitting is not included. Cleat installation is not included. Additionally, we do not provide free service for the installation of aftermarket parts and accessories during the year.

What would void the free service?

Free service will not be provided once normal conditions of the bicycle no longer exist. This includes (but is not limited to) excessive wear or damage from hard riding, accidents and warranty problems. We will also stop providing free service if you have replaced original manufacturer’s components with aftermarket parts, unless they were purchased at and installed by Sunshine Bicycle Company in Clemson.

Are there any charges that may apply when getting the service?

Under normal circumstances there are no charges. However, if we deem that the bike has been mishandled or that its condition is not the result of normal use, there will be a labor charge for your work. You will be charged a $15 cleaning fee if you drop your bike off for service muddy, extremely dirty or excessively greasy.
