DIY shop in NOVA

Has anyone been to the dity shop in Sterling, Virginia. If so, is it a good shop for me to work on my car there?

What do you need done? I walk through my dyi shop every morning in the way to work. I have everything but a lift - enough to pull the motor in my 928 and rebuild it.

If you just need an afternoon or day's worth of work, we could have a mechanics bbq, attack it and be done!

Let us know how it turns out. That might be a good alternative for people. I'd be worrid about runniung into a problem and getting stuck for an extra day or something.

My offer stands! Of course right now my 928 is up on stands so I can fix the shifter but that should be done by this weekend.

Considering my day, overnight storage is a good thing, though I think overnight parts for my car would be amazing - I'd just call my regular suppliers.

Used them to remove the mufflers on my M coupe. They are relatively new. It is a first come first serve, I have a feeling if they get more popular you might have to wait in the future (I called in advance to make sure there was an open bay).

It worked out very well and they stay out of your way while you work. You can walk up to the mechanics that work there anytime and ask questions or ask for help.

Very cheap too, believe I only spent 30 bucks.
