Put them on yourself. On a real lift.
Got your brake pads, struts or muffler from AutoZone, O'Reilly, NAPA, Advance or online — and nowhere to install them? Rent a bay at Coopers Garage in Toledo by the hour. The lift, the tools and the space are ready. You skip the labor bill.
How it works
1. Buy your parts
From any parts store or online. Check fitment and keep the receipt.
2. Book a bay
Pick a bay and time online. $10 holds it and comes off your bill.
3. Do the job
Staff lift the car. Tools are at your bay. Pay for the hours you used when you're done.
Jobs people bring parts in for
Brakes
Pads, rotors, calipers, brake lines, fluid
Oil change
Oil, filter, drain plug gasket
Struts & shocks
Struts, shocks, springs, end links, sway bar links
Exhaust
Mufflers, pipes, cats, hangers, O2 sensors
Battery, alternator & starter

Times are a comfortable first-timer pace. Book a little extra — running out of time is worse than finishing early.

Questions
Can I bring parts I bought somewhere else?
Yes — that's the whole idea. We don't sell parts, so bring whatever you bought from any auto parts store or ordered online.
Do I need my own tools?
No. Every bay comes with a full mechanics tool set, air impact, jack and stands, strut compressor, and drain equipment. You're welcome to bring your own too.
Who raises the car on the lift?
Coopers staff run the lifts for safety. They get your vehicle up and set, and bring it back down when you're done. You do the rest.
Will you install the parts for me?
No — we rent the bay, the lift and the tools, and you do the work yourself. Staff are around for advice, but the wrenches stay in your hands.
What about my old parts and core charges?
Take your old parts with you. Most parts stores refund a core charge when you bring the old part back, so box it up and keep your receipt. Used oil goes in our drum for free; coolant recycling is $5.
What if I bought the wrong part?
Double-check fitment before your booking, and keep the receipt in the car in case you need to swap it. If your job runs long, you can add another hour as long as the bay isn't booked after you.
How much does it cost?
Clear Floor $20 / hour, QuickJack $25 / hour, 2-Post Lift $45 / hour. A $10 deposit holds your bay and comes off the bill.
