in Rome and Berlin (and surely many more places) another typology of places to 
repair your bike are common: workshops without commercial interest. They 
typically do have opening hours and you go there with your bicycle to repair it 
yourself. Typically there will also be volunteers to look after the tools and 
who might help you if you kindly ask. In some of those you can also assemble a 
working bike from broken and abandoned/donated ones. They're not the typical 
shop as using them is free or they ask for a voluntary donation/fee to keep the 
place running. If you need spare parts you'll normally buy them in an ordinary 
shop and bring them there. 

Here's one example, currently tagged as shop, what doesn't hit it 100%:
