pretty sick place, they have only been open for 15 days, and are constantly getting new equipment in. they have dyno's and ramps and lifts for cars and bikes. they also offer training on equipment you have never used before.

my friends and I came up with this idea once a few years back. But we just didn't have the funds to get it going. I always liked this idea and I hope they do well.
edit: well we dind'thave ALL the stuff they had. just stuff pertaining to cars. like ramps, lifts, dynos, tools, cherry pickers. we totally failed to figure in plasma cutters and welding stuff too

It was awesome doing engine swaps for a grand total of $25 for tool useage and lifts....
Insurance is pretty easy....liability waivers are a great thing for a place like this.
Nice find Daredevil.

Moffett field used to have something like this. Not sure if it is still now though. Working on cars on bases like Pendleton was pretty cool since not many people had garages.
