I live in FL but work in MI, so I have a car and apartment (no garage) in MI. I need to spend some quality time with a stuck brake caliper. Are there any DIY shops in town where you can rent space by the hour? It would also be nice to be able to do my own oil changes, etc up here.

The shop I used to work at in Waterford Hills will rent a lift for $25 an hour, no lift, just a flat is $20 or less an hour. That includes alignment rack, brake lathes, etc.

My apartment is in Sterling Heights but I'll travel to find a good spot.
