Car Lift Rental?

[CrawlinTBSS]

Just gauging interest to see if it would be something to be offered here:

I may be obtaining a shop unit soon with my business partner with 1 or 2 lifts. Im posting to see if theres any interest here. Possibley on weekends we may offer a Lift Rental time slot for any forum members or anyone needed to use a lift to complete any of their own projects/installs. just gauging interest to see if its something people here may be interested in. it would be fairly cheap, maybe 20$ a hour or something. Obviously me or my business associate would be on the property and it would be coordinated with us but it wouldnt be a problem.(we arent there to do the work for you, just provide the lift use,as we will be working on our own stuff most likely) The building would be FULLY INSURED and you would just be required to sign a lein of waiver form upon arrival and then you would be free to do your work. Tool usage can be talked over as well. we may offer to let you use our tools ( unsure if it will be at any expense) or else you'd be more then welcome to provide your own tools or specialty tools needed for your job. Obviously we would try to stick to projects able to be done in a day or 2 at max as we need our shop for weekday work. specifics can be discussed but just seeing if theres interest here to use a lift on weekends to do work for smalllll fee. We will be located in Plainfield, IL area. right at the border of naperville,oswego,plainfield,aurora. Thanks

I'm interested when either of my cars need something. Right now I don't need to get under the car for anything though.

 

[CrawlinTBSS]

No problem. just seeing if there is a good amount of interest.

of course since im on here alot, we would offer a good deal to the local supporting forum.

unit wont be established for about a month and then we would post up when it will be avialable. Possible weekday nights as well, which we can work out.

good deal

$20 per hour is more than fair especially if your only other choice is working on a garage floor. You should invest in some A/C equipment too. A lot of money can be made there since A/C work can't be done in just any garage (well, legally at least).

Might have to take advantage of this during the summer to clean and detail the underside of my car.

Insurance isn't going to like that idea.

 

[Malakaone]

I would definitely use it.

Ins don't gota know lol it'll be insured tthough.

Do you have any news with your shop? I would be very interested in renting a bay with a lift for few days or a weekend

As much as I like the idea, daturbosix is correct.

They find out, they will drop your coverage like a hot potato, and they will not cover any claims as a result of someone else using the lift.

An example would be, someone using your lift, car falls off, and kills/seriously injures them. A) Insurance will not cover anything, B) You can have the pants sued off of you.

I'm sure it'd be okay if they signed a waiver saying they are responsible for their own injuries, etc...

I've tried this and its not a good idea, people do stupid shit, leave messes, break stuff, cars sit, parts dont fit, it's not worth the headache of trying to do it for $20/hr TRUST ME if you want to try it more power to you and best of luck!
