What is the bikery?

I've recently got my bike back in Seattle but i could use a tune up. Somethings I have a vague idea how do other I don't know anything about. Would the bikery be a good place to go to get help? How much should I expect to spend? What's it like there? I use to go to the Bike kitchen in San Francisco I'm imagining it a bit like that. Is that correct?

    From my co-worker, Davey Oil:
    The Bikery is a great place to go to get help wrenching on your own bike in a safe and supportive environment. There are two ways to pay for the use of tools and the friendly guidance of the volunteers at the Bikery. One way is to pay cash or check, five dollars an hour. Another way is to spend a little time volunteering first. You can come in any time the Bikery is open and the volunteer staff will find a job for you to do, regardless of your previous experience with bike repair. In return, you’ll earn ten dollars an hour in credit, which you can use to pay for “stand time” or used parts for your project. The Bikery’s model is very similar to that of the Bike Kitchen, with a little more emphasis given to providing access to folks traditionally marginalized by bike culture and folks who are actively impacted by systemic oppression in our larger culture, LGBTQ folks, people of color and women come to mind, but of course the list is shamefully long. With that as the focus of the project, all people are welcome to stop by the Bikery’s space at 1265 S Main St #104, (entrance on 14th Ave) Saturdays 12-6, Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays 2-8.
