Local Care

Your own network of partner workshops. Immediately and without investment

Gain instant access to a professional network of partner workshops across the country without investing in your own branches. Give your customers premium care in their local area while saving yourself logistical nightmares and fixed costs.

Selling a bike is just the beginning. The true customer experience continues when the assembled and tuned bike is handed over, through the first service check, or by handling returns and claims.

However, without your own branches, you hit limits:

  • E-shops and D2C brands: There is a gap between convenient online shopping and the lack of local service. Customers have to figure out where to take their bike for maintenance.

  • Corporate fleets, couriers, rentals: Every defect means an outage. Fast repairs, minimizing downtime, and cost control are key.

But building your own service infrastructure is extremely expensive and slow.

With Care.bike, you have a ready-made service infrastructure at your disposal. Instead of individual agreements with dozens of service centers, you gain immediate access to a unified Local Care network of partner workshops with clearly defined services and a transparent process from order to billing.

  • The customer receives premium care close to home and perceives it as a natural part of your brand. 

  • The retailer gains control over the process, costs, and the quality of services provided.

You gain nationwide service coverage literally overnight – immediately functional, without fixed costs, and ready for your business growth.

The Care.bike service infrastructure covers everything essential – from handing over a new bike to the customer to regular maintenance and handling claims.

You have one partner – Care.bike. Everything from bike intake to invoicing is managed by our digital system, giving you a complete overview without the administrative burden.

1

Easy ordering

You or the customer place the order in the Care.bike system. You choose a service partner based on location, specialization, and current capacity. The service center confirms the date, and then you just deliver the bike to the workshop.

2

Execution under control

When the bike is handed over, the service center performs an initial diagnosis and proposes a solution and scope. You have an up-to-date overview of the status and costs.

3

Transparent billing

At the end of the month, you receive one summary invoice for all jobs at partner workshops. Individual items are paired with specific orders and can be traced back at any time.

Care.bike gives you a real-time overview of all service orders and complaints. You gain complete control over after-sales care for your customers and the associated costs.

Stay in full control of what's happening with your partners

Whatever the customer is dealing with, you know it instantly. In the system, you can see every order in detail from its creation to final resolution. From one place, you can monitor the progress of warranty inspections, services paid for from prepaid vouchers, complaint resolutions, or the return process. It is entirely up to you how much detail you want to follow.

In the case of complaints, you are involved in the approval process. The service partner carries out an assessment and proposes a solution. You then approve the claim and have the final word on how the situation is resolved.

Costs under control and transparent billing

At the end of each month, you receive a summary invoice with an overview of all processed orders. You can then easily match this invoice with the data in the system, where you will find the details of each order broken down to the level of individual service tasks and parts used. You have 100% certainty that you only pay for approved items and work actually performed.

A workshop joins Local Care only with Care.bike's approval, so you get a guaranteed standard of service.

The customer gets a voucher with the bike, redeemable at any partner. Billing goes through Care.bike.

When selling, choose delivery through a partner on the map. The partner does the pre-sale service and the customer collects the bike there.

The partner workshop assesses the claim and you decide on the proposed solution.

Offer partner workshops picked on the map in your zone, and customers book with them right from the zone.

Every Monday you get an e-mail with workshops that have newly joined.

How does Local Care differ from the Care.bike service network?

The service network is a public map of workshops where cyclists book and pay for service themselves. In Local Care your company orders and pays for the services, and Care.bike approves the partner workshops and vouches for their quality.

How are services paid for?

Your company pays for orders at partner workshops. Billing goes through Care.bike in your currency, summarised for all orders.

Can I offer partners in my customer zone?

Yes. Offer partner workshops picked on the map in your zone, automatically or subject to your approval, and customers book with them straight from the zone.

How much does Local Care cost?

We agree terms based on the scope of services you want partners to handle. Book a consultation and we will go through it together.

I run a workshop. How do I join Local Care?

See the Partner workshops page. Workshops join Local Care after approval by Care.bike.

Increase the value of your bikes with professional after-sales care and free your hands for your core business.
