Renting a ramp?
I wanna do some work on the underside of my car over the winter and want to rent a ramp to work on it.
Does anyone know anyone with a workshop i could rent/ use one for a couple of saturdays to do this work on? Wouldnt need there help just the use of the ramp?

i asked my mechanic about doing this to raise some cash whilst he was not using it per hour ...
but if he needed to use it for his business and the work on the car was not finished like major bits missing he could not just drop it on the ground and move it ..
might be worth going around smaller garages and asking em to be honest .. might find someone who wont mind...

Cheers mate.
Nothing major is gonna be taken off the car while the cars on the ramp. only maybe the exhaust to be honest. Just wanted to get a new coat of sealer on the underside over the winter so no rust can start up.
Have approached a couple of garages but they say that they are only open till 12 on a sat so it would be pointless using there's as by the time i started getting my teeth into it i would have to start packing up for them to close

if you know anyone at a garage ask them if you can do it when they are closed for a bit of cash...........

I charge £50 for a Saturday (available 12:00 till 20:00) including compressed air and 3 phase leccy and 2 Poster ramp
I find "Main Dealer" techs would rather do their foreigners in the luxury of a workshop than rolling around the floor so factor in the cost of hiring my workshop when giving quotes for work and usually have 2 or 3 jobs to get sorted during the day
BUT
Sorry mate I am in Wednesbury - West Midlands

Dan the only problem with that is they probably dont want someone there they dont really know on there own for that amount of time, so then i will have to pay someone to be there while im working.
I cant think of anyone i can really ask that is open all day on a sat!
