Vélo Villeneuve in Montréal is overpriced
by Jonathan Brun
Earlier this year, I had to service my bike. Tire was crooked and I had not done a tune up in two years of intensive use. Not knowing better, I went to Vélo Villeneuve on Villeneuve and St. Urbain. The team there is very nice and quite knowledgeable, but very expensive.
They overcharge for both parts and labour. An inner tube change = 20 $, 7 $ at McWinnie’s; brake cable = 10$, 4$ at Yeti; 65 $ Tune-Up, 30 $ at Yeti; the list goes on.
I do not recommend these guys, unless, of course, you have money to burn.

I agree and have been going to Velo Villeneuve for years but thought the prices were crazy. They justify them by giving you free service (air, grease) for the rest of the year. I never had the time to check elsewhere, so I’m glad you did. Sayonara Velo Villeneuve.
