"Pit Row"-like facility near Brentwood

I am living in Brentwood and I am looking for a place like Pit Row closer to home. Google has been failing me with results and I'm curious to know if there are any place like Pit Row near Walnut Creek, Concord or Antioch where I could rent a lift for a few hours.

I have my own tools and want to avoid laying on the garage floor this weekend if possible. Anyone know of a place?

I feel your pain, I come in from Santa Cruz to hit Pit Row.

I think Pit Row is one of a kind in the area. I sure wish there was one in San Francisco. Your best bet otherwise is to make friends with a shop and hope to get some lift time in the off hours. I realize the chances of that happening these days is slim though.

I used to frequent http://liftedworkshop.com in Fremont alot. But honestly Neal's shop in Concord (the racer's line) has really good rates and a with the brewery across the parking lot I don't spend the gas money to get out there much and support my local businesses lol.

Thanks for the responses. I'll be booking some time at Pit Row this week after crawling on the garage floor Friday night to put the exhaust on -- my back can't take that crap anymore.

I went down to Pit Row this afternoon and used the facilities. The whole experience was pretty awesome, looking forward to going back down there again.

If you need a place to work, I recommend checking Pit Row out.
