Not sure if this has been posted before or not. Saw it myself for the first time today. Pretty cool idea IMHO.

Awesome!

That is something I always thought would be a good business. On all my old army bases, they had a similar setup where you rent the bay, all the hand tools you need come with it, and they had a couple ASE certified mechanics on staff all the time to assist you and answer questions. I wish something like that was around here, too.

Can't see the video from work but based on Daves comments I get it. Last time I talked about this concept to someone insurance and liability were major issues. Doesn't matter how many releases the customer signs--they put out an eye and you're getting sued. We had something like that at MSU in the late 80s. I helped a buddy put a new engine in his Karmann Ghia at the student auto shop. The lift made life so much easier.

EDIT: watched on my Droid. Very cool!

I think there's a place like that in NYC.

untill budget cuts, all military bases had a "auto hobby shop" same idea. rent the bay check out tools you need and a ASE mech was always on duty to help.

I have always wanted to have what I would call a musicians co-op. rent jam rooms have a tech who would teach how to set up instruments, have mentorship programs.

Same as these guys are doing. wish there was one here myself.

One club Iwas in did have a "Shop Day" occasionally. A guy would open his Auto shop and you could bring in your bikes and do what needed doing. everyone was there to help. and then have a pick nick.
