Many people, including me, will say your garage. The concept of paying someone to "service" a bike is very alien to us old timers.

I believe some people use Grafham Cycles.

Other options are Broken Spoke in Eaton Socon or SDJ(?) Sports who I hear might be doing a collection service from St Neots (Ade Taverna would be best to confirm/deny this aspect).

similar to the garage, I favour the kitchen (not having a garage)

Clicking is often something relatively simple. This might help diagnose the problem area(s):

I have a contract with Halfords for my road bike (yes I know it was cheap though)

Not sure if they would be a good option
