A couple of years ago, there used to be a few garages about who would rent out bays with lifts and tools on an hourly rate, but most seem to have disappeared now, perhaps something to do with liability?
Anyway, I know it's not retro, but I want to service the gearbox on my 745i (E65) and access to a lift would be really handy. Can anyone help, or suggest somewhere? I'm drawing a blank on Google!
Thanks,
Ryan.

Thanks for that, but they've stopped doing lift hire now  I see on here there's a couple of people offering use of their lifts - they're in Berkshire and South Wales, but I'm tempted! |

Where are you exactly?
Our ramp is pretty well occupied all day every day in the week, but could probably sort something out one weekend.

I'm in Nuneaton (North Warks), so not too far away, but both of the options below seem very promising and a bit more local - so I'll follow those up first. Really appreciate the offer and might be back in touch if I get stuck! |
