Does anyone know if there are garage spaces with four post lift that can be rented for DIY work, or, if such a facility was available would you be interested?

Thanks
Mike

Yeah considered that. I think this would suit an existing biz who have a spare bay, or on a day they are not used eg Sunday.

Must admit I was also thinking bare bones just a unit with space and a lift. Bring your own knowledge and tools. Less bits to go missing.

Depending on costs possibly minimal waste and used oil tank.

Insurance would be interesting.

I think, if memory serves, I read about someone doing this in Scotland a long time ago. See if I can dig it out.

In principle though if hour or day rental was low enough it would be handy for jobs where you need car lift.

Back of a fag packet calculation it would be about 80 quid per day minimum so a bit steep to be practical. Boo.

Found someone doing this in Caerphilly.

Hats off to them hope it's a success. I will be using them at some point for sure.

Didn't post a link as I'm not sure if that's allowed.

I am not affiliated with them and haven't used them so no idea what they're like to use. If you use them please feedback as I'd be interested at some stage.

Nice to see someone doing my idea Haha
