Inside AlongSide Garages — two-post lifts on a clean concrete floor, tools and oil barrels along the walls, daylight from the open bay door.

Your car. Our lift. Your time.

Book a bay, bring your own tools, do the job yourself — or bring a Guide if you want someone next to you.

FAQ

Do I need my own tools?
Yes — bays come with the lift and the space. Bring your own tools unless the location says otherwise.
What if I've never used a lift before?
Your first booking includes a short lift orientation before you start — it's added to your first visit automatically.
Can I bring someone to help?
Yes. Bring a friend, or book a Guide on AlongSide to work alongside you in the bay.
How do I pay?
Send a request for your bay and times, then add a card. Nothing is charged when you request. Once we confirm, your card is charged when you check in, plus a one-time $10 orientation on your first visit. If you don't check in within 30 minutes of your start time, a $25 no-show fee is charged instead.
What jobs aren't allowed?
Each location lists any blocked job types on its page — check before you book if you're not sure yours is covered.
What about insurance?
We'll cover this on your walk-through.
What happens if something gets damaged?
We'll cover this on your walk-through.
Do I need to staff it while it's booked?
