Question DIY shop in Bay Area

Hey guys, I bought a set of Tein lowering springs and looking for a place where I can install them myself. I know how to do it, just need a place to rent a lift and a set of tools (wrenches, springs compressor, etc).

Any ideas where I can do it? East Bay (especially Dublin/Pleasanton/San Ramon area) will be great.

There's a Pit Row on Lafayette Street in Santa Clara. Not tried it mind, just know it's there.

I've done a few things at pit row and would highly recommend it. The owners are very nice and helpful and having a lift makes it loads easier to do work under the car.

Just checked that Lifted Inc. rates. $30/hr? Really? I think I'll just buy a set of tools and go to Walmart's parking lot then xD

Lifted Inc. told me that they don't have any unoccupied bays today, so I ended up replacing springs on Autozone's parking lot in Pleasanton.



Seems like it's time to start a car's journal here, but I'm too lazy to do it.
