You have to think about what average people usually have done and could (or
even want to) do themselves if they had the facilities. Things like oil
changes, radiator flush, transmission flush, brake job, new tires, tire
rotate/balance, mufflers, struts, suspension raise/lower... you get the
idea... keep it simple.

+ a roving mechanic to ensure that people load their vehicles on lifts
correctly and guide them on proper procedure.
+ all equipment necessary for tasks listed above.

If I had the opportunity to do some of the things while having someone
ensure I did them correctly, I would try it, at least once.
