I found an article in NYC where it was 25van hour or 125vfor the day , in USD, so very similar

It might be old age way to escape the cold, buy a station Bays, hire a guy to manage it, and save one for me

Do you get a frame lift with these rates or is a lift extra cost? Heat and air conditioning as needed?

You get the use almost all of the tools, except the tyre machine and the wheel balance machine (theyre very pricey and he does it for you). You can place the car on a lift which makes a whole lot of jobs that much easier. The garage is fairly warm, around 15/18 degrees (that's in Celsius haha). So around/below room temperature. In the hot summer it isnt a place you wanna hang out (it gets very hot).

These rust and then the caliper grabs and overheats.

The OEM Volvo slide pins are about $15 each but won’t do this. There are several write ups on this

It is best to keep Volvo pins and bleeder valves - restore and move these to the replacement calipers.

It’s American to wonder why everywhere we go isn’t at 25+- 1 centigrade

We build houses in deserts then wonder why we don’t have water.
