If you are an amateur mechanic, then, first of all, you need to have a well-lit and friendly workplace if possible, only in these conditions can you fully concentrate on the bolts. The best option: a fairly wide and well-lit garage with its own electrical connection. In good weather outdoors, of course, working with bolts will give you more pleasure. However, here you should rely mainly on a flat and paved surface - and in all work, act in accordance with the motto: safety first.
Supervised self-help – possible in a rented workshop
As a rule, rented workshops enjoy good recommendations among car enthusiasts. In addition to lifting equipment and a variety of tools, you can often find competent help here along with sound practical advice: and problems with your vehicle and equipment can be solved much faster and easier on the basis of specialized instructions. Most rented workshops offer multiple jobs.
However, a free lifting ramp is more common in the middle of the week than at the end of it - this is the time when most fans grab the wrench. Such workshops pay the user for the number of working hours spent in it, as experience shows, in the amount of 25 to 40 marks - including the use of tools. The addresses of workshops that rent out their facilities can usually be found in the yellow pages of the phone book, in the classifieds section of your favorite daily newspaper, or on bulletin boards. Often the desired address of the nearest «the most modern» the workshop can also give you a refueller at a gas station.
Prepare well for your workshop visit
Self-execution of work in a rented workshop makes sense, of course, in a situation where repair work is famously and quickly carried out on the proposed «working stage». Since most of the work that you ventured to independently perform in a rented workshop for the first time - due to forced «gathering bitter experience» - then the cost of work due to your frivolity may be higher compared to similar work in specialized centers or warranty repair workshops. In addition, a strict time interval is still pressing on you and standing behind you and waiting for its entry «to the stage» the next one is the same as you, «screwdriver lover».
If you first decided to «dismantling» your car in a rental workshop, they are obliged to quickly complete their work. Practice forces you directly into meticulous planning on the green table - after all, you won't want your car for a hefty price «park» on the working stage, while missing parts and important aids have yet to be obtained.
