Saw the ad for this place on Craigslist.

May be a good place to work on your van if you do not have a garage or if you want to lift you van to work on the underneath. Not cheap though.

opening some sort of hobby shop has been bouncing around inside my head for years, I think it's a great idea.

One of the things I really enjoyed about the USAF was the on-base auto shops... every tool imaginable, lifts, paintbooths, etc all for free.

Security was not stellar and in my experience they would not be liable for loss, theft or damage .

....bbbut you were already getting screwed by the a.f. much better deal whatever you have to pay at a garage.
I usually rent a lift at a local agricultural diesel shop that has a lift they barely use. They are normally pulling tractors a part, or the trucks they work on are too big to put on a lift. If they need a new headgasket, it's easier to pull the whole cab off some of em then to remove the engine. The shop gets a kick out of my van, and it's pretty cheap for the ease of a lift.
Now the problem is that I want to use the lift for everything, even though I can get er done at home, I almost always wait till I can get lift time. "luxuries once tasted become necessities," so true.
