Gator Gears Repair Request

To schedule a repair appointment, please email us at info@bikes.ufl.edu with:

  • a description of the problem,
  • your contact phone number and dates/hours of availability,
  • and your bicycle’s number and current location.

Gator Gears’ trained staff mechanics will contact you as soon as possible to schedule a repair appointment and will travel to your location anywhere on campus to perform repairs. Please note that our mechanics cannot travel to off campus locations for these appointments, however.

Repair appointments are normally available Monday – Friday when classes are in session but are not available on weekends or University holidays.
