OK I did do a search for this as I was going to add to it but there was no sign of it so will do a mini thing here
http://www.pitstartgarage.com/
Anyway, the premises were clean and tidy, ramp seemed pretty decent. I only needed a strong arm (mine was in Manchester lol) to get the bolts undone but they do have a wide selection of tools available including things like gearbox lifters, exhaust stands etc. As I don't have a garage I am normally using a mates garage or my dads to do work. I can see this place being a really good venue to use, open 24/7 as well meaning you can call in any time etc.
They offer a small discount if you take your own tools and will even dispose of the old parts for you (fantastic, no lugging the cat-back single piece from London to Manchester
). The staff were friendly and even able to offer little bits of advice when you find you are in the inevitable battle with something. Once you go over the initial hour you are charged by the minute after that rather than ah well you were 2 mins into the next hour please pay full amount.Before people start with the ha ha ha I just throw mine in at work, this is aimed at the hobby people that don't have ready access to a ramp. Has anyone else tried this place at all? What are other's views on it.
I will admit I am impressed and have signed up for a membership at the place, which was half price before the new year. This entitles me to full use of all the tools, a bay costs £10 for 14 hours use and a ramp costs £20 for 14 hours use. The only thing I have to pay for are the bits they sell like oil, washers, bulbs and the like.
