Some time ago, my brother and I noticed a place in Mountain View, I believe it was called "Dream Car Garage". For the life of me, I can't seem to find there web page anymore - so i don't know if they're still around. If I remember correctly, it was $17 an hour for the space/lift/tool rentals, but don't quote me on that.

How long do you need the lift for and when? You can give me a call sometime and we can arrange something for you.

Jerry,

That is awesome thanks! Do you have a pressure bleeder for the brakes, and an oil catch pan that I could use as well?

I am not doing anything really major, it would be a 'nice to have' to work on a lift instead of on a piece of cardboard.. I would be flushing coolant, changing transmission and differential oil, changing oil, installing ss brake lines and bleeding the brakes, and rotating the tires. I may also change the rear brake pads if they are worn down by then. I am slow, and I haven't intalled SS lines before so i would probably need 3-4hrs on lift. I am flexible, I could go in the evening after hours on a friday, or during the day on the weekend.

I don't need to do this maintenance right away, so sometime in sept or oct would be great!
