They had them. Don’t know why he didn’t use one.They don't have an engine stand that he could rent??
Based on the brake rotor, he may have gotten the car at a deal too - it didn’t roll in under its own power.
looks like a 4 cyl...l turbo? That makes it newer. I’d be curious to know what went wrong.... I think those are direct injected engines... some complain about carbon buildup on them. ?

I was at U-Wrench in Calgary
There were three or four of those places here in the Milwaukee metropolitan area but they all closed about 10-12 years ago. It really was useless for anyone wrenching on an older car, I've never had any job proceed "per the plan" with old cars. Once you get the thing apart you always need more parts than you thought, and there's no way you could leave the car up on the lift for several days while you hunt that one little plastic bushing you didn't know you needed (or you broke getting it apart).Is this a Canadian thing? I thought I remember hearing of such places around here back in the 70's but never found one. Seems like a good business model to rent out a space with a lift by the hour, day or week for DIY'ers but I doubt you could get insurance these days for it in the U.S.
They will let you borrow the loaner minivan but the meter still runs.
You can take the minivan home overnight for free if you are in a jam.
I think you need to study that case for yourself.I ain't a lawyer, but in any country where you can sue a restaurant when YOU spill coffee on yourself and win big bucks, that probably wouldn't be worth the paper it's written on.

This probably would have been the case in the USA back in the 70s and prior...too many idiots around today so we miss out on things like this. I bet in the more rural areas in mb ab nb it still resembles 70s usa in culture and behaviorActually, the owners are fairly understanding. They will let you borrow the loaner minivan but the meter still runs. They don’t charge if you leave it overnight as long as you return first thing in the morning. You can take the minivan home overnight for free if you are in a jam. There lots of part stores and dealerships nearby. Unfortunately there is not much space nearby to roll it out.
