Frequently Asked Questions

How does a DIY shop work?
- Simply bring your vehicle, a game plan and complete the repairs in our shop. We handle all the safety aspects (racking the vehicle, using the lift, etc.) to make it as safe and easy as possible. There is a community of help at Momentum. We can also demonstrate how to safely use any of the tools or machines in the shop. We have hourly, daily and monthly membership rates available.
How does the monthly membership work?
- You get five days of lift time in a 30 consecutive day window. You get to choose the days (a few hours here and there, half days, full days, etc.) subject to availability on the schedule. If we have room in the shop flat bay days do not count towards total. Membership does not auto-renew like a gym membership, there is no risk of you being charged and not having the ability to use the membership. Many people find it more economical as it is less expensive than two individually priced days in the shop.
What if I haven't repaired a car before?
- No experience is necessary. Our shop is very welcoming to the beginner. Best practice is to start on smaller projects and work your way up to larger projects.
Does the shop have a restroom?
- Yes, also a fridge and microwave.
Can I invite friends and family to help?
- Sure! There is no extra cost.
What happens if I do not get done in time?
- For starters it is easier to reserve more time than not enough. We invoice you only for what you use, not necessarily what you reserve. There is no penalty for reserving extra time. Worst case we roll the vehicle from the lift bay to a parking spot and schedule another visit.
Can I paint my car in the shop?
- Unfortunately we are not equipped to spray in the shop (this includes under carriage coatings).
Will you complete the repairs for me?
- While we will not complete the repairs for you we will lend a hand and offer advice. The goal is for you to take an active role in maintaining your car or motorcycle. Most folks enjoy repairing their own while having fun and the money they have saved!
Do you sell parts?
- Yes, many of our parts are available the same day with no cost delivery to the shop. We also stock engine oil, oil filters and motorcycle fluids in-house.
Does Momentum do event rentals?
- Yes, Momentum hosts several local car clubs throughout the year, sometimes at no cost. If you have a mutually beneficial idea please let us know!
