Title: Workshop and Ramp rental.....let's make a list of locations
Post by: boneybradley on 07 June 2011, 09:17: If any of you are short of working space to fix your car I have seen many places now offer workshop and ramp rental by the hour and thought It could be good to get a full list of locations

I will start with

Halifax West Yorkshire
Workshop - Ramp - Tools - Valet bay Hire

Picture 3. ROFL! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

That'll be a halfords 150piece for the workshop then. :grin:

I do like these places A LOT but me thinks they need to work on their marketing photos a little.

Post by: rentaramp on 07 June 2011, 21:03: Thanx for the feedback. The photos are a bit dull. The majority of our tools are snap on but they weren't as shiny as the new halfords set. The Transit (ours ,not stolen lol) is on the Autodata jacking points and looked straight when we were there, must be a trick of the camera. New pics to follow me thinks!!!
If any of you fancy using us quote this forum for a discount. cheers

Post by: boneybradley on 08 June 2011, 08:39: Come on people...... I thought these type of places were needed (How many times can you crawl under a car on your drive? Or how much easier would life be with a ramp?)

I know there are more around and thought a list would be helpful?
