There are very few places that do this sort of thing above board, mostly due to the liability problems, quite a few garages will loan you a lift for a few hours if they're not using it and they trust you. When I was a trainee mechanic I quite often had to sit in on somebody borrowing a lift to make sure they didn't do anything daft and that they weren't trying to pilfer our kit. It was all cash in hand though, and wouldn't have been covered by our insurance had there been an accident! It may be worth befriending your local indy garage owner and offering him reimbursement for lending you a ramp for a few hours on a sunday afternoon, anyway.
