i don't know if this works at every one, but a few times i have taken the boxster up to the ford-adjacent QuickLane (owned by ford, but one of those "we do all cars / simple repairs / in-and-out" places) and used their lift. i did the work myself, but it was nice to not have to get on my back and/or spill oil everywhere. the manager is cool, as long as there isn't a line waiting. i pay them $10 or so for "bringing my own" and the shop guys just stand around watching.
