Hi guys,
So my power steering rack and pinion shit itself and I just got a remanufactured one and need somewhere with level ground to jack up my car, my driveway is too steep and I don't wanna get under it without it being stable even with jack stands. I don't have a garage and friends live too far from where I am uncomfortable driving to. I would probs need 3-5 hours to fix it. Pls help.
And no I can't go to a mechanic because I'm broke.
There are places that rent out hoists/workshop space at quite reasonable rates.
Find a level public car park that’s not busy if any says anything just say you’ve broken down.
Just go to train station carpark. Should be lots of empty spot.
A (not too busy) carpark? Assuming your car is steerable and your repair is solid to drive it back.
Industrial precinct on a Sunday.
This is what I used to do when I first moved to the city. Pretty much the only people there were guys working on project cars at their factories and learner drivers.
Learner drivers and being under a cars on stands. Sounds like a recipe
Not really, in the industrial estate I used the learners never went into the courts.
This is sounding like the best option. Thanks
Your local Men's Shed? I'm not totally sure how it works, but may be worth checking out.
Find a deep curbside gutter. Drive up parallel with left side of the car on top of the gutter. Car is now propped up and you can get underneath it easy.
If it was an oil change I could do this. But need to take off both front wheels.
Give your local Bunnings a call. Ask if you can use a few spots for a couple of hours.
Take it to the servo, get permission first.
