When I was in high school and college, I used to go to the USAFA Auto Hobby shop with my dad. They had like 6 or 7 bays with hydraulic lifts, and pretty much every tool known to man and we could work on our own rigs at an hourly rate. But now he's in Florida and I'm not in the Military so I don't have access to it. Is there anything like this in Denver?

I know for a little while, at least, there was a DIY shop in COS. I would imagine if the good idea fairy put one here, they would have put one up north too.

Nothing in Denver that I know of, I miss having the auto hobby shop at my disposal.

I think you will find that insurance regulations are a problem.

There is one, I think in Lakewood or a bit north. Opened a few months ago. I'll see if I can track down the info.

Never been but remembered seeing this when I was searching for welding classes.

Found it:

I stopped in, they seemed nice.

These are all over San Antonio. I could see where insurance liability could be an issue, but I think it's a great idea!
