Hey Gibby,

I think its a great idea. When I moved to Seattle a couple years ago, I searched for a month or so for a way to rent garage space to work on my car, to no avail. I think there are alot of shade tree mechanics that are living in apt. complexes that have hung up their tools due to lack of a decent workspace. I would think you'd have alot of guys just wanting plain old space, that already have their own tools. I'm in the process of moving into a rental house and doubling my rent, mostly because it has a garage and a huge basement. I'd suggest that you establish the business in/close to a metropolitan area- if its too far out in the suburbs, the locals are more likely to have their own garage/driveway to work in, and the city folk aren't going to want to drive an hour to spend 15 minutes changing their own oil.
