The Wrench Thursday Open Shop
2024-06-06 12:00 - 17:00, 2024-05-30 12:00 - 17:00 (America/Winnipeg) | The WRENCH, 1057 Logan Avenue, Winnipeg, Winnipeg, R3E 3N8, Canada
Powered by our dedicated volunteers, Thursday Open Shop serves the community by offering deeply affordable bike repairs, reclaimed parts, and basic refurbished bikes. All our Open Shop services and repairs follow a “suggested price” model. We appreciate customers who are able to chip in a bit more, as it helps us provide repairs for those who cannot afford full prices!

Open Shop is operated by appointment, and is intended to serve as many people as possible in an orderly fashion. The Wrench reserves the right to limit the amount of repairs/parts/bikes depending on the day to ensure there is enough to go around. To book your slot, simply choose your intended service from the options below. If you attend open shop without appointment (as a walk-up), we may not be able to guarantee you a repair. ​

Just need some time to work with a stand? Come by and utilize our outdoor bike stand (summer only) and toolset to fix your bike by donation. Each stand session is limited to about 30 minutes to accommodate as many people as possible.
