Sec. 00 — Overview

You knowhow to do this.You just need the lift.

A membership garage and members' room for the Longmont corridor. Three bays, professional tools, and staff who rack your car so you can get under it. No upsell, no service advisor — and a room full of people who know the platform you're working on.

Sec. 01 — The problem

Boulder County took away the driveway, not the skill

The lease says no

Most apartment and HOA agreements ban vehicle repair on the property outright. Nothing on jack stands, nothing leaking, nothing on blocks.

Two feet of clearance

A floor jack and stands get you under a car. They don't get you comfortable, and they don't get a transmission out.

Wrenching alone

Nobody to hold the other end, nobody who's done this swap before, and no one to look at the thing you just pulled off and tell you it's fine.

Sec. 02 — Rates
Bulletin 001 · Founding allocationCloses October 23

Founding membership — 60 seats

Every founding seat carries everything in Full Send, locked for 24 months — twelve midweek hours, the $49 peak rate, project parking, priority booking, and the members' room. The price depends on where you are in line. Seats are released in three tranches, and each one costs more than the last.

Step 01 — now

Get in line

Free, takes a minute. Your place is set by the timestamp on your signup — that's what decides your tranche and your rate.

Step 02 — when we email you

Put a card on file

This is what actually holds a seat. The card is authorized, not charged — no money moves until we open. Waitlist alone doesn't reserve anything.

Step 03 — 7 days

Or it moves on

You get seven days to add a card once you're invited. Miss it and the seat goes to the next person in line, and you keep your spot for the following tranche.

Get in line — you'd be #1

Why 60 and not more. There are three bays. A founding seat holds its rate for two years, so every one is peak capacity we can't re-price until 2029. 60 is what the bays carry at founding rates while still leaving weekend room for everyone else. We won't quietly add a fourth tranche after these are gone.

Membership buys the club. Weekend time you pay for.

Why weekend hours are never bundled. Saturday bay time is the most requested thing we have. If it were folded into a subscription, the members who booked it wouldn't get it — you'd be paying for a slot someone else already took. So peak hours are always cash, at a rate that drops as you commit. Midweek works the other way: those slots are the easiest to book, so we bundle them generously. No membership is required to book a bay. Drop-in runs $89 for the first peak hour, $69/hr after, or $45/hr midweek.
Sec. 03 — How we do things

The parts other shops get wrong

The members' room

A clubhouse, not a waiting room

Fast wifi, good coffee, a proper bench, and somewhere to sit while the penetrating oil does its job. Monthly build nights, tech sessions on specific platforms, and a members' board for parts, advice, and a spare set of hands.

The Stuck Clause

If it won't start, we don't punish you

Every DIYer's real fear is running out of time with the car in pieces. Tell the steward before your slot ends and you roll into the next open midweek block at $19/hr. No penalty rate, no tow, no lecture.

One per booking, free

Bring a second set of hands

Half the jobs worth doing need someone to hold the other end. Add a guest when you book — they don't pay and don't need a membership. They sign the same waiver and do the same short safety walkthrough you did, and then they're in.

Midweek rate

$25/hr, Tuesday to Thursday, 9 to 3

Our lowest rate and our easiest slots to book, often same-day. If your schedule bends, this is the most bay time your money buys. No membership needed.

Verified rate

30% off for students

A third off any tier for CU Boulder Car Club members, Formula SAE team members, and trade school students. Show a current student ID or team roster.

No lock-in after year two

Your rate is held, not your membership

The founding rate runs 24 months, but you can pause or cancel any month with 30 days' notice. Hold the seat because it's worth holding.

Sec. 04 — Founding list

60 founding seats left

The doors aren't open yet. Get in line now and your signup time sets your tranche — right now that's $99/mo locked for two years. Your answers shape the hours we keep and the tools we buy.

Sec. 05 — Straight answers

Are you open yet?

Not yet. We're allocating founding seats now, and the list gets the email first when the doors open. Joining is free and sets your place in line — see below for what actually holds a seat.

Does joining the list reserve a seat?

No — and we'd rather be blunt about it. The list sets your place in line. A seat is only held once you put a card on file, which we'll email you a link to do. That's deliberate: if an email address could lock a seat, the people who actually want one would be stuck behind people who didn't.

What happens when the founding seats run out?

Nothing sneaky. The numbers above are real, the price rises by tranche, and the offer closes when the last seat is reserved or on October 23, whichever comes first. We don't reopen it later under a different name.

Will you charge my card?

Not now. When founding memberships open, your card is authorized — not charged — and money only moves when the doors do.

Can I use the lift myself?

No, and this isn't negotiable. Stewards rack every car. It takes four minutes, it's the single biggest safety factor in a shop like this, and it's why we can let you do everything else yourself.

What if I get stuck on a job?

Our stewards run the lifts and keep the shop safe — they don't diagnose cars or talk you through a repair. The help here comes from the room: build nights, the members' board, and the person in the next bay who's already done your swap.

What can't I do here?

No paint or body filler, no work for hire, and no leaving a car overnight unless you have project parking. Heavy jobs are fine — that's what the lifts are for.
