Seriously way to ruin it.

If I ever found a place like that I'd have more work done on the truck for sure...

Make them sign a waiver, and it all goes away.

You would definitely have to have a strict tool inventory system, where they check them in and out and you have to watch it like a hawk.....

not really. if a guy blows the shop up using a welder to fix a hole in his gas tank. you still have to pay for the building, neighbors buildings, whatever you lost has to be replaced.

thats the problem with insurance, not the guys that are working themselves. its what they can break.

There's a place like that near the Twin Cities. I did my cam install there. It was nice. I had to buy a few little parts because I didn't like what they had for it (valve spring compressor) but it was nice having a warm shop to do my work at my own pace. I ended up paying about $500. Not bad for how long it took me. Then they gave me a little deal for the next time I went in, so I did a trans filter change and oil change in my truck and my girlfriend's Liberty.
