Recently did this kind of thing.

If you have house hold buildings insurance you should have a level of public liability with it (please check with your insurer), mine came with 2 mill. As long as you are not charging and are lending the space to friends you should (again please check) be covered.

If you lend tools they must be fit for purpose, tested if electrical and the users trained in thier use.

You need fire suppression equipment (an extinguisher).

you need 2 points of exit in case of fire.

You need proper recepticals for waste oils, fuel, filter etc.

You can give advice to persons working on thier own car, if you do work you are liable for the quality and any issues that arise.

I also ask anyone using the space to sign a waiver of responsibility clearly stating that they understand all of the above.

Not as complex as it might be but you need to cover your back side.
