AVOID. I went in there to get a flat changed because I was too busy with work at the time to do it myself. First, these people did not even do the repair properly — they returned the bike to me with the wheel installed so poorly that the bike would not even pedal. Second, they knocked my bike around so badly that they broke a bunch of the gear teeth, causing the chain to click loudly with every pedal. Third, when I complained, they tried to tell me (I kid you not) that that the gear teeth had broken because my brake wires were old, and tried to get me to PAY THEM to change the brake wires. Now, as a woman, I am frequently fed BS by male mechanics who assume that I don’t know anything about bikes. But this was the most ridiculous line that has ever been tried on me in my life.
Shady business tactics and con artistry aside, the astoundingly poor quality of work alone merits avoiding this place. I brought my bike in with a flat and they gave it back to me in worse condition than before — with a jammed wheel and broken gear teeth. That says it all.

Version courte: Prix raisonnables et employés sympathiques: j’ai retournerai la prochaine fois que je dois faire réparer mon vélo!
The short version: The price was very reasonable, and the staff was really friendly. I will definitely go back next time I need something to be fixed on my bike!
Version longue: Je viens de déménager en ville et j’avais besoin de trouver un atelier de réparation de vélo pour faire de petites réparations sur mon vélo, sans rendez-​vous. Cet endroit avait de bonnes heures d’ouverture. Je me suis présentée à 14:30 un samedi; on a fait les réparations en moins d’une heure. Et il y a pleins de magasinage à faire autour pendant ce temps (ou encore le parc Lafontaine). Je suis entièrement satisfaite.
The full story: I just moved in town and I was looking for a bike shop where I could get some quick fixes on my bike, without taking an appointment. This place seemed to have good business hours and did not require appointments for repairs. I came in on a Saturday at 2:30pm, and my bike was ready within an hour (and there’s plenty of shopping around, or just the Parc Lafontaine to have a walk in the meantime). I’m really happy with the experience.

One of my favorite bike shops in MTL. Friendly staff, quick service dept, and have a supportive staff. They have a race team and do trips, as well. Awesome location being on the bike path into the park.
