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.
