hayless,

That's kind of like the Auto Hobby Shops we had in the military. I think the concept is a good one. You would have to charge an hourly rate that both you and the customers could afford. You might even sell monthly or yearly "memberships". Before starting on such a thing, I would consult with an attorney to determine potential liability issues if someone got hurt and writing use contracts regarding equipment damage or loss and disposal of abandoned cars and parts. Also make a determination if you would allow people to work on other's cars for profit. The next thing I would look into is insurance.

Keep us posted, I'd like to know how it works out
