MEC Toronto Bike Shop
Our bike shop can provide any repair from minor service, like installing fenders, to a deluxe overhaul. If you're not sure what kind of work your bike needs, bring it in for a free safety inspection. Our mechanics will inspect it, consult with you, and if it needs service, determine the best package value for your bike's condition.
Call the store to set up a bike shop visit. A tune-up may take two to four business days. Minor repairs can be done while you shop.

Batteries
We recycle batteries that were purchased at our store. Just drop them off and we'll take care of them. Please don't bring any that are broken or corroded. For safety, cover the battery terminals with a piece of tape before putting them in the recycling bins.
There is a cost associated with recycling non-rechargeable batteries (we pay about $130 per 30kg container) so if you purchased them somewhere else, we ask that you contact that vendor to enquire about their recycling program.
Fuel Canisters
At present, we cannot recycle any LPG or propane fuel canisters. For information on where they can be recycled, please contact your municipal recycling department.
