Self service workshop locations - North West - MAzman15

I'm wanting to have a stab at doing by own basic maintenance oil/fluids etc. I would much prefer to hire workshop space with a lift rather than invest in ramps or stands.

There used to be a place in Oldham called BHA rent a ramp that offered this for about £20 p/h, I believe there was another similar place in Oswestry and Google does report others but they all seem to have closed down or stopped offering this.

I'm struggling to get owt good from Google, does anyone know of anything similar that's still operating? I'm based in Wirral BTW.

Cheers

Don’t think these places exist anymore. Health and safety, liability have probably put these workshops out of business.

Plus the increasing difficulty of managing any worthwhile DiY on a modern car ?

Think you are right doc our local one in MK seems to be a garage .

But I remember my work colleague falling from a car lift when working on his classic car.

He fell to the concrete floor , but unfortunately he had a large spanner in his overall s and this broke his thigh bone .
