Since I don't have my own (engine- and mechanical) workshop, I outsource most mechanical works (and storage).
For project: MembersPage/MarcellGal/EngineSwap.
Aspects
- they allow some storage from time to time
- help me with the operations (for fee, of course).
- ideally it should be walk or bike (1..5km) distance from where I live (Budapest IX). At the same time, I could teach them ECM and electronic aspects if they like.
Workshops had partnership with many, some of the ones I like:
- MembersPage/NanassyPeter and Karkus (15 km) best at audi 5cyl and exhaust / intake and other mechanical works
- TGS dyno but also works for mechanical stuff (20 km)
- MembersPage/GeorgSzabo (25km): transmissions
- own location (we had to rent a big house for other reasons): it has a garage for 3 cars, but only 1 door and NO pit (what a pity!).
- storage location (my old engine at gf-s parents; 40km)
- DROPPED: http://www.proex.hu/ (Budapest,X.Koer u.6) workshop. The proex is actually the smaller shop on the same location, that manages the exhaust manufacturing (the preturbo part from stainless). There is also a bigger shop for engine and other repairs sharing the same yard and security (dogs :-) but different owner. Boss and contract-contact is Miklos Nemeth, +36209557798.
Old method
A businessmen goes into the bank.
- I want a $100 loan for 2 months.
- You don't need to "loan", since you have $1300000 on your bank account. You can simply take $100 from that.
- I want a $100 loan, else I take all my money from this bank.
- OK.
- I'd like to leave my BMW at the bank as assurance (deposit, what's it called ?).
- You don't need to leave any deposit.
- I'd like to leave my BMW at the bank, else I take all my money from this bank.
- OK, as you wish.
The businessman goes home and tells his wife:
- we can go on holiday now. I found a very safe guarded place for the BMW for $1/month.
