I think top gear went to one of these places? When the did the super car for £10k? Jezza's car though he had a "SS" when it was just a basic with a £50 badge :lol:

i'd pay to use the ramps if i was doing a job i wanted to make sure was done right, like re underseal the car etc.

but if it was to do an exhaust, i'd rather pay the local garage to do it.

depends on the job as to if its worth using imo

theres a reason for doing home mechanics, it makes jobs vastly cheaper then taking it to a garage, when you start factoring in a cost towards home mechanics it becomes less attractive, especially when the costs are actually qiute high

i do love this idea though, but it needs to be more worthwhile cost wise imo

yes but when you factor in you arent having to get your hands dirty and he'l probably get it done in less time then me, then it probably doesnt work out all that different

We have one over here. Called the motor gym. Looks quality but I wouldn't pay the prices.

Do you have to sign a disclaimer, i'd have thought something like that would be a no goer for insurance purposes. :lol:

Quite cool if there is tho :D
