can see their tools getting 'lost' unless they're all chained down. i lose enough of my own stuff in my own garage as is.

Personally i think there needs to be a chain of these places or something like it

 looks super clean and bright

maybe a couple of clued up fellas to help out the tricky stuff

 pity the economy is in such a arsey way , think places like this could really take off :wink:

24 hours too! I would have thought there would be some kind of Health and Safety/liability/insurance problem that would stop someone coming up with this, but obviously not :cool:

You probably have to absolutely sign your life away before they let you in.


Brilliant idea.  Good for things like exhausts etc. that are tricky at home.

One downside... You completely f##k something up and your cars stranded their at £10 and hour.  Eek!  :undecided:

There is one in Wincanton (nr Yeovil) that does this at the same price. Was in the local newspaper a while ago.

Good idea!
