TECHNICALLY my lease is similar, I just close the garage door if I'm going to do anything "major" on my vehicle. I did a front brake job on my old vehicle, nobody ever knew. One of the people on my road actually swaps his summer and winter tires with the car parked in the middle of the road! Replacing/changing tires actually IS one of the items they use in the lease as an example of something that is NOT allowed.
My understanding is that they expect you to have the car towed elsewhere, which is absolutely insane if you ask me. I've learned to close the garage door, but the problem is that the garage is
just barely big enough for a car. My bikes live to either side, and I have to move them all out to access the wheel wells. I usually do major work at a friend's house because of this.
