DIY Garage. Anyone used it?

This looks useful, proper opening times too! Has anyone on here tried it yet?

It has always been a little dream of mine opening a place like this! Call me weird but I actually got the inspiration from the work shop the kid used in (the book) Christine by Stephen King. What a fabulous place to have proper lifts, pits and fully equipped bays where you can tinker!

I bet health & safety & insurance would be a nightmare!

I think they are a great idea and would have made full use of the service when I had my RX7 or my Esprit but there were no local set-ups like this at that time. Now with my Boxster which never seems to need anything doing to it other than popping it to the OPC every two years it's too late for me but I still think it's a brilliant idea.
One thought I had, say you go there put the car up on the ramp and in doing your work break something which may take a few days to source do they charge you?

There lays the pitfall, pun intended!
