Valley Cycle Center - Priority Maintenance

Priority Maintenance (PM) is one of the most valuable protections one can purchase for his or her new machine. PM is a program that fully covers every bit of service and maintenance as outlined by the manufacturer for a set period of time. The best way to prevent any unfortunate and unforeseen failures is regular and thorough maintenance. That’s where PM comes in.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and that’s what PM provides. Customers within a 30-mile radius of Valley Cycle Center who chose PM from us when they purchase their new machine enjoy trouble-free and priority scheduling, free pick-up and drop off of their machine when maintenance is due, and a “fast track” through our shop to minimize downtime.
