Default DIY pro workshop facilities

Just discovered these in Watton. Wanted a car lift to do a quick oil change ready for Friday RR session.
Got 5 lifts, 7 bays, welder/fabrication bay, all tools supplied, experts on site to advise. Very reasonable hourly rates. Well pleased. Very clean too.

Owner has a 650BHP classic and the most powerful normally aspirated Honda in the UK.

Recommend them for any DIY jobs if you don't have your own facilities.

"ituned", IP25 6DL, (Griston Rd., Watton, Norfolk) 07799 533465.

IIRC £10/hour
Think it must get cheaper for longer periods as there were some long term projects in there !

Very good idea, but unless there's somewhere very local for storage it's only any good for small jobs? Couple pictures of the layout would be nice

Similar place opened in Darlington recently, was posted on a local site.

Places like that will/should do very well as not everyone has a driveway or garage to work in.

Costs seem reasonably cheap. I was expecting these to be a lot more.
