I'm going to have to replace my steering rack and wasn't looking forward to trying to do it lying on my back. After a bit of research I came across this:

Pit Row

I happen to be going to Santa Clara a few days ago and stopped by to take a look. The owner is nice guy from Germany, who says shops like this are more common there. You don't just rent a lift, but a station with full tools and a lift. Plus they have other specialty tools, hydraulic press, parts washers, etc.

You can buy blocks of 10 hours or 15 hours at reduced rates if you anticipate other needs.

Just FYI for anyone in the area.

 

Thanks A big help for me, I work close by, Now I can flush my transmission
