FAQ

Do I need experience?

Nope. Everyone does our free lift safety training before their first session, and there’s always someone around to ask.

Do I need to bring tools?

No. Lifts, impact guns, sockets, torque wrenches, hoists, and trans jacks are all here. Bring the parts for your car, and any oddball specialty tool your make needs.

Will you do the job for me?

No. GaragePass is a DIY shop, not a repair shop. You do the work. We give you the space, the lift, the tools, and a crew of people who’ve been there.
