A shop only wants to work on quality bikes, I can't fault them for that.
If you'd like to limit your service to specific brands or models of bikes, that's fine!
It's alright to say, that you exclusively sell and repair bicycles with the Trek, Giant, or Raleigh brand. However, when you openly declare that you only sell and repair expensive bicycles, that just wreaks of
Snobbery!
Usually,
quality means expensive, to most people...
