Subject:Need feedback on making a commercial space to fix *your* vehicle

Folks,

I've had an interesting proposal for which I need to gauge the interest
level:

Would you pay to go to a garage (which holds 5 vans) where you could work on
your vehicle?
You could use the tools there, ratchets, impact wrenches, benches, engine
stand, etc.
There would be someone there with a Bentley's and a bit of experience to
help for a bit extra.
There would be an ASI-certified mechanic next door to do work if needed,
also extra, of course.

Who thinks its a good idea?
What's a fair rate to charge, and how?

This garage would be located in Vancouver, Washington.
Would any of you folks specifically use one there?

Thanks,

David Jaffe
