A few useful answers

Good to know.

A few useful details before you get started.

Ask the Dude ↗
Should I buy parts before coming in?

Ask first. Compatibility and boot condition matter. If you already have parts, tell us what they are and bring them for the inspection.

Can every skate be repaired?

Some damage or wear can make a repair impractical. We inspect the equipment and discuss the options before committing to work.

Will it be finished during the appointment?

The appointment lets us inspect the issue and agree on the work. Completion depends on condition, parts and workload; we will discuss timing with you.
