Interesting idea.

I just hope they did a wack load of research on insurance coverages.

It's not a new concept. There was a "U-Wrench" shop in Ingelwood.

Nope not new at all.

I remember a couple of places like this way back in my younger days when I lived in Sudbury Ontario.

Seems to me it was even a franchise at one time.

I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

I spent a lot of time fishing on the Wanapitae river, and some time on Clearwater lake...which also explains a few things.

I know that you love "fixing" things for me whenever you get a chance. Sorry to steal your thunder, buddy.

I don't know if it is still there, but there was one running for years in the NE off of 12'th street just South of McKnight. It had multiple hoists / locations for mechanical, some tools and then next door, they had most of a body shop, including fully set up paint booth.

Other end of the building from broken axle . Use them once a year or so when it is too cold to work on the heap outside.
