West Yorkshire car lift rent p/h

[super66]

Hiya Guys.

Ok so i have been looking around to see if there is anywhere i could rent a 4/2 post lift to work on my car, but i can't seem to find anything in the area.

I was hoping to find somewhere that would maybe have a few of the tools that i don't have etc.

something very similar to this. www.pitstartgarage.com/index.html

This made me think! Would others be interested in this, if there was such a thing in the West Yorkshire area?

If i was to purchase a secure premisis with say 1 lift to start with, see how business goes and maybe expand to more if demand was there.
Try and supply tools that maybe aren't 'everyday tools'?

Just an idea, but i'd be interested to see if there is much interest.

I see you are in Leeds - can the College help out as that's where they run the Classic Car Restoration classes isn't it - I'm sure the students there would love to get their hands on a Singer Chamois - that's not a car you see every day is it!

Yea i have actually been to the college, that's where i did a welding course to begin the resto of the chamois. Talking to a few people it seems that they have looked into something similar but it's the insurances etc that kill it as a business idea, ah well!

Have you checked the car wash place over the road from cosco? they have lifts in there and I cant remember if they rent them out or if they are just a cheap garage.....gotta be worth a shot though - I work just around the corner and I am off to Cosco tomorrow evening so if they are still open i will bob in and ask

I would certainly be interested in hearing more on this, and I might even be able to ask around a few people who might be prepared to donate some tools.
Good luck. I've not had any in finding small storage or a shared workshop area so far.

CHecked that place - no joy - its a cheap garage not a rent-a-ramp place! Nice guys though!
