Title: Self Service Garage Facilities in Wales?
Post by: o-meg-a on 25 April 2011, 20:29:54
I've seen them cropping up all over the UK, but not near to me. Nearest one is in Gloucester, which is about 80 miles from me.

The one in london called pitstart seems to be the best one, but that's out of the question. Way too far.
They are looking for franchises though....

Pitstart as seen here http://www.pitstartgarage.com/

I'd definitely be willing to pay between £10-20 an hour to use a post ramp and tools.
Will be usefull when i need to do my exhaust next month.

Anyone heard of any in Wales?

Its 20 quid plus vat for 1 hour on a ramp. It might be cheaper to take your exhaust parts to your local garage and get them to fit the bits.

well i think that is the point...
I'd rather not pay labour at double that rate when i know i can do it myself?!
Plus, i'm planning on doing it myself anyway....
this idea was to facilitate me doing that without having to crawl around under my car.

I get that paying a garage to fit it is an option but i like doing as much as i can myself.  ::)
That way i'm the only one to blame when it all goes to pot lol :o
