    DIY Garage in central RI with everything you could ever need!

    Hey guys. I just wanted to post this here to let everyone in the area know about a do your own maintenance garage I heard about from another R3v member. I went there yesterday and replaced my entire suspension and it was a really good experience.

    You pay to rent out a bay with a lift either by hour, day, week, month, project, whatever you need and you do YOUR OWN maintenance. This place is amazing. Each bay has its own toolbox, work table, and TV, and of course a lift. They have all kinds of special tools and they have Snap On's version of all data to help you out, I used a Haynes manual anyway because I had it with me. They have a spring compressor, hydraulic press, tire mount/balancer, and pretty much anything else you could possibly need.

    The owners were both walking around assisting with maintenance and helping some of the other people out with stuff they had questions on. They were super friendly and useful. All in all it was an awesome experience. The prices are way better than I expected and the place has really thought of everything, from having parts delivered that you may have forgotten, to recommending where to order pizza from.

    I highly recommend it for anyone who, like me, lives in an apartment where you're not allowed to work on your car, or for anyone who is just looking for a better more comfortable place to do some more in depth work. Please spread the word. :)

        Yea, that's accurate. And they have all kinds of other things for sale, cheap, in case you need them and forgot your own, ie safety glasses, shop towels, etc.

          Interesting that they let you moonlight out of their facility. Most DIY places I know of do not allow that.

            Yea, actually a guy I know has a shop down the road, which recently caught on fire, and apparently he had been working out of there to keep some of his clients
