I went to one once, to put in ss brake lines, as I don't have the space/facilities to lift my car (even on jacks) at home. Financially, it would have made a lot more sense for me to have someone do it for me, but I was willing to pay to to do it myself. That's the obvious market - DIY'ers without the space.
I'll go back if I have any similar projects. What I learned from the owner was that its not always about the space, but also about the tools. They have everything, and good quality stuff, so I don't have to buy specialty tools.
On the other hand, he also said keeping all the tools from accidentally disappearing is a challenge, since he had stocked tool boxes at each station. So, something to watch out for.
Likewise, I'd suggest talking to some owners in different markets, as my guess is you have to draw customers from pretty far and wide to support it.
