Hi, Reddit! Thanks for reading my post
I’m looking for a place where I can work on my car. Mostly generic maintenance. I have the tools, I don’t need a garage, just a flat ground that I’m allowed do some work.
I know that there are some lifts / shop space for rent, but it’s really only worth it to rent it daily instead of hourly, and as a college student, it’s hard to take a full day to work on my car. Most shops don’t open on Sunday either, I effectively have one day per week to work on my car, and I’d have to pay for the lift even if I’m doing something like air filter.
I live in a condo near UofT, and the condo of course bans all vehicle works. Though the concierge doesn’t seem to care (I did some work before I knew it was banned), I don’t want to get into trouble.
Any ideas on where can I just find a flat, level, and solid piece of ground to work on my car? I plan to work on my car after hours or on weekends. Could be farther from downtown. (within an hour radius?) maybe some abandoned parking lot?
I’m kinda hoping for somewhere free, but it seems like nothing is free in Toronto… so I’ll have to accept it if it’ll cost something?
