Finding a place to carry out major car repair work

[Kind Panda]

I intend to replace the engine in my Avensis, however I have nowhere to undertake work other than in the street - clearly not a feasible option. I'm seeking a cost effective solution if one exists. What have others done in a similar situation?

How about something like this?:

I don't know whether that particular location is any good to you, but if not there are quite a few similar businesses around the UK.
