Default Need some help looking for home garages!

So i need some help. I have two civics (an ex with a swap in it and other goodies) and a dx with a d15. I want to do the swap myself (with some help of course if anybody wants to) but the problem is that I'm new to the area (Ft. Lauderdale) and I need a garage to work on the car for a good weekend so i can swap the ex out into the dx shell. I need to do this soon because i've been without my car for awhile. I also have asked around for good garages and so far MTR has been deemed reputable. That's all and dandy but I'm a poor college boy. So if any of you in my area is inclined to know of someplace where i can use a cherry picker and some of the tools as a home based project, that'll be great. It has been frustrating not being able to use my car for the past 4 months. (Ex got rear-ended..amn Florida drivers...and the DX died out on me). SO please if anybody can help, email me!!!

FYI, I copied this thread to the basement. I think more people will see it there, but I left a copy here thinking that more 'technical' people will have the opportunity to respond.
Normally I'd just move it to the basement, but I think you need technical help (to a degree).

GL man.

You should offer money or free pizza and beer or something.

you can rent a cherry picker from your local Rental City, or whatever you've got in your area. As for the garage... cant really help you there. I always do my work at my friend's dad's garage (not a good idea) or in the parking lot outside my apartment. I'm actually moving into a house with a garage this summer, just so I have more space to work on my car. h:
