DIY Automotive (Garage/Lift/Tool Rental)

I have a garage and tools but no room, no heat, and no lift.

My uncle built himself a massive shop that he's insulated and heated with all the tools and space one could need to repair, restore, or build cars and trucks. I use it frequently for brake jobs and regular maintenance BUT he doesn't have a lift.

So I just asked myself why someone hasn't started a business where you can rent a bay with a lift to work on your own car if you don't have the ability to do so at home. I've thought of this countless times over the years when a job came along that I'd LOVE to tackle myself but can't.

I just did a google search to find out where or how someone can do this. Found many many forum threads describing how folks have gone to local shops and negotiated the use of their facilities during a weekend or something along those lines.

And then I found it!

DIY Automotive located 10 minutes away from me in Meriden, CT

I'm so stoked! When I get my full Perrin header-back to install I'll be able to do it in no time.

if you don't mind, can I accompany you during the install? Wanted to see this place for myself as well as the difficulty of putting a header on.
