"Bicycle repair station" appears to be the common English name for this
kind of thing.  Here's what I got from various Google queries:

*Tool station* yields that this is literally the trademark of a specific
chain of tool stores in the UK.  Nope!
*Tool stand* gives results similar to "bicycle repair station", but with
metal/wood shop workbenches instead.  This is not what we intend, either.
*Bicycle tool stand* yields at-home/in-shop floor repair stands, close but
no cigar.
*Bicycle repair station* yields an image search sample of several popular
designs of the object in question.  This would suggest that we have a user
education problem, not a phraseology problem.
