Would any of you guys be interested in something like this? maybe between 30-40$ an hour, supervised by yours truely.
The 30-40 an hour would include supervision, advice, use of hoist and tools as well as certain materials like brake clean etc.
I know when I was working out of my garage there was a lot of stuff I could have really used a hoist for, or some helpful advice and always wanted a local place for this.
Would you guys have any interest in this? Remember this would be for 5-6hour jobs at most no weekly projects or anything like that.
I don’t think it’s gonna work dude. Cause people here will do a KA=>KA swap for 3 bills, and they bring their own hoist, etc… In the time that it takes to do that swap, the hourly fee would have worked out to be about the same as if you had someone come over and do it for you.
Car Decor Garage just off the 403 on dundas offered the same thing a hour for 20 bucks just because the only guys coming in were the ones who wanted to do oil changes in the winter and grease nipples etc etc. If they asked for any more money a hour people would just hit up Mr.Lube/Jiffy. 20 bucks is a bit more reasonable without allowing customers to use their products(brake cleaner, lithium grease etc).
this is a good idea, i’d definately come next time i need to swap out my diff, doing shit like that or painting your frame on the driveway pure fukken sucks, thats a good idea sasha
I agree with the some of the others that $30 - $40 is alot. There is a DIY garage in Windsor, it’s $10/hour for a bay and an additional $5/hour to use the lift and that is with access to all hand, air and electric tools. I’m just stating this for comparison sake.
however there isnt anything like this around us toronto boys that i know of, as well you dont get supervision and advice. plus its also nice to be able to use some brake fluid if you need or some windex and shop towels without having to pay out your asshole.
the thing is it just wouldnt be worth my while for 15$ an hour, when a place is setup for that sort of thing its way cheaper to run then just as a side thing you feel me boys?
Plus you never know i might get in there and help you and then youd be getting labour rate for free :shock:
there is a DIY garage in brampton that rents the hoist for $20/hr and charge $3 for air supply. If you wish to use their tools you have to rent them. If this is $30 with air and tools included then I would say that it is a decent price.
it really depends, if you have a larger gangster ish sign then i would be suckerd in, but if you have a small niagara/guelph style sign then i probobally would not bother.
Sounds like a good deal for most of the pavement kingdom kids on here that didn’t grow up fixing shit in the back yard… oh wait… whats a back yard again?
i would be interested in this if it was around $30/hr
there are lots of times i wished i had a hoist to make things easier/quicker.
it also depends on location and hours of availability.
Cool idea i also think 40 is a bit steep, considering you can pay a mechanic to work on your car for 60 bucks, or slave away yourself for 40, if it were me i’d just pay someone to do it if it came down to that. For like 25 it seems reasonable.
Most places downtown Toronto barely have a place to park the car, let alone work on it.
