I did that. Spent about a third of the cost of the bike on various things including a new wheel and some mud guards. The brakes haven't felt right ever since (someone has suggested there might be air in them?), need to go back.
They also put my old inner tube on the new wheel inside the new tyre. Which already had a path on and then failed shortly after. Kind of annoyed about that.

In my shop, sure, but if it didn't need a full service, it would get a quick check over and out the door for the time (and price) it took to do what was needed and wanted. Having said that, the second or third service you do on a bike is a dream, because you've sorted the issues out. Really we should charge more for the first time we see a bike, but that's not a great way to attract new customers!

Am I right in thinking bike shops would like us to bring complete bikes in for a service including fitting some new parts maybe once a year?
