Default looking for an auto garage in michigan to rent

I'm trying to hunt down a garage in michigan to rent. I want to install some shocks, springs n struts, spacers, headers and a short ram, and it'd be a TON easier if i had air tools or at least good tools and a lift. Where can I go?
Thanks for the help SG

Rather than renting a garage which is big money just pay me. I will install it all for you...... Air tools may be nice but the only item on your list that it really matters is the header. I swapped springs on my car with the jack from under the seat.....

if you can't get your hands on air tools... just get a 3 foot long piece of pipe and use it as a breaker bar on your wrenches. that's what i've used and i've taken apart like everything on the car.

if you do find a place that rents though, send me a PM! because if they go by time like a week or so at a time, i'd be interested in splitting the costs because i have A LOT of work to do on my car (springs/struts, turbo install, CF hood, new exhaust, ZPI engine limiter and other small things)

i would rather scratch my paint then pay someone. I do EVERYTHING myself, just a personal thing.

how do you use a pipe as a breaker bar on a socket wrench? got a pic? or is it actually just lead pipe over the handle of the socket wrench?

i'll let you know if i do, i think my friend does know of something, but i won't be back to work on my car until april (after school gets out). and if you want a hand when you do some give a shout, i don't know much but i'm always eager to help
