I was thinking the same thing
That's how advance auto does it here I just rented a slide hammer to do my rear axle bearings and seals it was 187 dollars and I get refunded when I turn it back it.
Right. I've been buying tools since 1974. That's 46 years. I have six tool boxes/roll carts that are full. It's not my responsibility to provide tools for someone "just because" they don't want to buy them. Old cars are something that have been in my life a very long time. As such, I BUY the tools it takes to work on them. The suggestion that I should rent my tools for a "small fee" is ridiculous.
