Lift bays
Four commercial two-post lifts, operated by trained staff.
A new kind of garage for the Triad
A clean, professional place to rent a lift, use the right tools, and work on your own vehicle—coming to the Greensboro area.
THE PROPOSAL / 01
Driveways are cramped. Apartment lots are off-limits. Professional shops aren’t built for people who want to do the work themselves. Triad DIY Garage is a proposed workspace for people who need room, height, tools, and time.
Four commercial two-post lifts, operated by trained staff.
Quality hand tools, compressed air, and access to specialty equipment.
Fluid collection, disposal, lighting, and organized work areas.
Secure storage options, classes, and a community that shares the interest.
SEE THE VISION / 02
These images illustrate the intended experience—not a selected property or final architectural plan. The actual facility will depend on zoning, engineering, safety, insurance, and budget review.

Four professional lift bays, clear circulation, organized tools, and room to work safely.

A practical workspace for jobs that do not require a lift.

Classes and community events designed to build confidence and skills.

Not necessarily. The concept may include introductory classes, but every customer must work within their abilities and follow shop rules.
