Sounds like a good idea to me.... saves getting the Axle stands out and laying on the floor in the drive way

brilliant idea. already very prevalent over here knowns as 'hobby workshops'

if he could combine it with an online calendar and booking system it would be excellent. the problem is keepingb people to their alloted time slots, as some jobs end up taking twice as long as you thought.

It's been done before, public liability insurance cover is the main issue.....

Jobs likely to over run such as gearbox changes etc would be offered a daily rate when starting the job, allowing extra time for a discounted rate.
Should the car be undriveable by the end of the working day (which would be 8-9pm nightly) then storage facilities will be available, again for a very good rate.

Insurance is indeed something to tackle but the right policy is out there, and the place would NOT trade without sufficiant insurance. Fear not.I would indeed be SE London based as J said

Thanks for posting this J, just found my login for the place. My partner in crime will be along shortly

Keep the feedback coming guys, questions, suggestions etc
