    I'm looking for suggestions and opinions on what equipment and tools should be in a DIY garage for rent. Feel free to list anything and everything you currently have or you would love to have in your own garage.

    Power outlets and light.

    And heat.

    Possibly A/C.

    Would be magical.

    I'm guessing a 10,000 lb. 2 post lift will be towards the top of people's wishlist.

    need a rather high ceiling for one of these to be really nice to have. they do make a floor lift, gets the car like 4 feet up. jay, (hitman) has one.

    and a set up for air tools is always nice.

    Nice BIG compressor for air tools. Ceiling height not a problem.

    I would have what blue Nick said...and basic hand tools...sockets, ratchets, wrenches, screwdrivers, hammers, pliers, etc. available in like roll carts or something, then have a huge box with all the really cool stuff that would be available on an as needed basis. Tire machine and balancer, brake lathe, A/C machine, maybe an alignment rack.

    Definitely tire mounting and balancing (for an additional fee). what's an A/C machine?

    OBDII scanner for sure. HPTuner would be a specialty tool. But good idea!

    A bunch of girls in bikinis...


    But seriously my dream garage would have a heated floor, floor drains, water for washing cars, heat, A/C, a car lift, all your basic tools needed as well as specialty tools for the car, fridge, minibar, entertainment center, and maybe some other special equipment.

    If I would happen to have a wife she would see very little of me during the day as I would spend it all in the garage. But night would be a different story... or maybe I would avoid her altogether and sleep in the garage too.
