2) Guy takes his car apart then the part he has for the repair is incorrect. he won't be able to get correct part till the monday morn and it's a car of a decent value and the owner doesn't want it leaving outside over the weekend. Will you then have room to park the vehicle?
I'm sure others will add to this but i do think it's a good idea in principle.
yes,the health and safety issues are a concern but there must be indemnitys for them to sign stating they are competent to use the equipment or something?obviously would have to have insurance to cover things too.
for point number 2 i suppose a ramp would always have to be free to accomodate such things and a reduced rate for overnight rental should something happen. i suppose it would be down to the renter to ensure they had all parts before starting work.
i would imagine most things would be an hour for servicing,or a mechanic doing a clutch on the side at weekend.with regards things like welding i would have to ensure it was safe to weld(interior removed/carpets etc).i would always make sure there was someone competent there running the place
keep it going....this is just what i wanted to hear
