I spent several hours at this shop today: http://www.diyautorepairshops.com/
Replaced shocks, oil change, fuel filter, etc... general maintenance on my pickup. I have gotten lazy taking my cars to the Jiffy Lube and try to ignore their upselling. I recall using the base garage many years ago when I was in the Army and I have always wondered why someone hasn't opened something similar for shade tree mechanics who would like the use of a lift.
Well, here it is. I just wanted to pass along to those of you who may be in the north Denver metro area and getting tired of laying on the concrete with little light and never the right tool. DIY has three options, Do it yourself at $30 per hour, Do it with a little help for $50 per hour and Do it for me at $90 per hour. The website does a nice job of explaining what you get for your money. The mechanic working today kept busy helping several of us as we got stuck on various big and small problems. Very low key and only helped when asked. All of my work today was Do it myself, and I had the mechanic help me several times when I asked for help. I wouldn't use them for everything, but for the things where I feel comfortable and jobs I know I can do with just a little supervision, this is a great resource.
I have no stake in this business. Just thought I'd pass it along for anyone wanting to save a little money on vehicle maintenance.
Be safe.
