    Default Any auto repair bays available for daily rentals?

    I think Pep Boys used to rent bays, but I'm told they don't anymore. Are there any places around that rent lift-equipped auto repair bays by the day to do-it-yourselfers?

    I'm looking for something that is as close as possible to downtown Denver. Any suggestions would be appreciated. [usa]

    Pretty sure he wasn't asking for free, he did say "rent".

    Is that really what it would take to close a bay for a day in your shop? Seems excessive, but what do I know.

    HunterCO, judging by all the rolling eyes you posted, I think you misunderstood my reply to your offer.

    I am not looking for a "FREE" bay and I understand that buildings and equipment are not "FREE". You can charge whatever you want for your facility, but it does not mean that I will automatically rent it at that rate just because I'm looking for a bay.

    I passed on your offer not because I think you charge too much, but because it does not make sense for me to rent a bay for $1,000 per day to perform some minor repairs.

    You see, at the rate of $1,000 per day plus parts, it would cost me about three times more to do the repairs myself than it would cost to have them done at the dealer.

    HunterCO...

    I just saw that you edited your original reply to include the part about me "bringing my craftsman tools so you can laugh your arse off".

    I mistakenly thought that your original reply was a helpful offer to rent a bay to me for $1,000 per day.

    Not sure what you have against people repairing their own cars, but I guess that settles the issue of renting from you.[/quote]

    Very good now that you have figured it out go to the dealer or better yet rent your own bay and pay for all the lifts and do it your self. After all you have figured it all out. :mrgreen:

    Thanks for not wasting my time! :mrgreen:

    Welcome to the real world.
    I am more than willing to help you as I would any member here. On the other hand if it is so minor why would you need to rent a bay?

    If he's in a situation like I am, the apartment complex won't let you work on cars in the parking lot.

    I can change my own oil for about $10 in parts, but without the space to do it, I get to go pay some quick-lube place $20+ for it (and they usually don't let the oil drain fully, etc. etc. ). Similarly, I can do plugs/wires/ff/af/etc myself just fine, but not according to my apartment complex. I've done a tune-up in the lot before without them saying anything about it, but it's pretty quick & easy on my car.
