My wife has asked me to post some rules. She's a long suffering woman.
1. Open Garage Saturday means that you can com over and work on your car at my house. Why would you do that? I have a lift and I have a lot of tools. And since there are usually 5-10 other people here, there's lots of help.
2. I will not work on your car except for advice. This is a social occassion for me and public service. I won't fix your car or add accessories to your car for free unless it is easy and you bought them from me. I have to have some free time and if I did free mechanical work, the line would be up the street.
3. If you bring something over to install, you WILL take the old one with you. I have normal residential garbage service. I cannot deal with 2 suspensions and a couple of exhausts and 2 sets of brake rotors in my garbage can. Yuo are free to come over and install shiny new parts but you will take the dirty old ones away with you. Be prepared with whatever you need to keep your car clean on the ride home with your blown out shocks and rusty muffler.
4. Wipe up the sink in the bathroom. Use shop towels to dry your hands. I have latex gloves if you want them.
5. Bring whatever it is you like to drink with you. If you like Pepsi, stop and get a 12 pack on the way over. We might also order pizza. It's pot luck here although my wife has been known to make plates of sandwiches and we have barbeques, you can't count on getting fed and a drink unless you are prepared to share a 12 pack or chip in on pizza.
6. Consumables. I have most things like anti-squeel and brake cleaner etc available. But occassionally we run out of something. Don't be surprised if we all chip in a dollar and try to recruit you to run to Kragen to get tranny fluid or something.
7. Dress for getting dirty.
8. If you wash your car here, roll up the hose.
9. The lift is first come, first served but the garage door doesn't come up till 8am. You can negotiate with whoever else needs it to see who goes up first.
10. Be prepared to stay around awhile and help others. We will probably help you. If we help change your suspension and you run off without helping on the next muffler job, people will chase you and call your car names :)
That's it. Open garage Saturday starts at 8:00am'ish and ends when the last car is gone. You don't have to stay all day, just help as much as you are helped. Cell service here is pretty bad. Just to warn you.
If you need directions, put this in Mapquest:
1244 Calle Prospero
San Marcos, CA 92069
Shop number is: 760-295-5454
