April 1 to September 30:
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday: 6pm - 10pm.

(Sat. and Mon. only one staffer on hand, so do-it-yourself repair is unassisted on these days, and guidance for inexperienced volunteers may be limited.)
Please note! Each evening shift at our shop is staffed by a volunteer "Head Mechanic". We make every effort to be open during the posted times, but there are the odd occasions when the Head Mechanic is not able to attend the shift for whatever reason, and could not find a replacement on short notice. We appreciate your understanding if this happens, and apologize for any inconvenience it may cause.
Location and directions:
477 Bronson Avenue (between Gladstone and MacLeod), Ottawa, Ontario
Directions: we are on the east side of the street, so...
- By bike: From east of Bronson take Percy to MacLeod and head west (it's a one-way street). At Bronson we are just to the right, on the other side of Jak's Restaurant. From the west, Bronson is not that fun to cycle on, so get to the Gladstone intersection and walk your bike the half-block.
- By bus: Both the 85 and 14 serve the Bronson / Gladstone intersection
- By car: there is NO parking on Bronson (permanent No Stopping zone), so due to the one-way streets use Gladstone / Percy / MacLeod.
