>can't function as lbs service writer because customer asks for tune-ups, but we only have specific labor items or service packages
>nowhere on the board/screen does it have the word "tune-up," so why is the customer asking for one?
>does the customer really want everything the bike needs, or are they constrained by a budget? I wish I could read their mind so I wouldn't have to spill my spaghetti asking them a couple of questions to figure out what write-up is best for them

To be fair tune ups are a thing at almost any lbs

to be unfair, 95% of the time someone wants a tune up they just need one specific thing to be fixed. And 80% of those times, its just brake/shifter cable tension.

true dat

i work at a lbs, and ive worked at a few previously, never heard of a shop not offering a tune up. Thats just autistic.

fuck anime too

I remember being a hardwood floor asshole roadie store when a clueless dentist with a custom colored venge walked in and asked for a tuneup.

The cat 4 sales drone at some point asked the dentist what he had for lunch.

>Now there's the problem. This is a racer. It needs PREMIUM fuel to perform right. Cheeseburgers, nuggets and fries and shit will clog the fuel filter.

I think they also adjusted his shifters, and brakes, cleaned and relubed his drivetrain, and upsold him some colorful fred crap prettier teflon lined cable housing, and the latest fall colors of grip tape and a slightly more aero CF bidon cage.

ok

>bike fags getting so uppity about their simple piece of shit vehicle that was made in sweat shops.
Why are you all so pompous? Train, boat, and aviation enthusiasts are nowhere near as arrogant with their interests.

Because bikes are cheap and simple compared to other transportation methods so bike fags have to play up everything to measure up.
Honestly when a non-expert goes to a shop and asks for a tune up they mean "it has been riding differently, please take a look at it" without knowing exactly how to describe the problem. If the shop can't figure that out then they shouldn't be in business.
