Garage
Ever pay for/rent a DIY garage and lift?

Lee H reminded of this place last night.

Rates - Phoenix Auto Repair | DIY Automotive Garage Bay Rental

I need to replace the bleeder valve on my clutch slave and just cannot bring myself to do such jobs on my back under jack stands anymore. I figure I'll spend $30 and flush my brakes and clutch and sort of enjoy the job like I used to at PCA tech sessions in the DC area. I changed engine and gear oils yesterday and just about died from heat stroke in my garage with doors open and fan on. Now I'm sore from crawling around.

Anyway, how does a place like the above make any money at $15 per hour? If they're fully booked with no downtime between appts., each lift bay would bring in $150 per day. The insurance has to be nuts on these guys.
