Good location, but bring your own tools.

Im a regular at the Auto Skills Shop. Ive done everything from major front end/steering work on my truck, to simple oil changes. They have two wheel lift style lift bays, and 4 other standard bays with benches for other work. Their rates are very reasonable, and have saved me the headache of having to work on my truck in a parking lot. They also have plenty of tools, jacks & jack stands, and some specialty tools. They dont have everything, but its definitely enough to do most work. I typically bring my own tools, which is what Id recommend anyway. Scheduling an appointment isnt necessary, its basically all walk ins only, you just sign the clipboard and pull right in!

**FYI, its only open to those with base access.Friendly staff with lots of tools and decent lifts. Its never that crowded but they only have 2 lifts, so call ahead to see if one is open before you go. They have very few specialty tools and consumables, so you will want to come prepared.UPDATE: 30 May 2021. (From 5 to 2 stars). They have managed to ruin the convenience of the auto center with adding steps to a simple and flexible process. You can no longer make same-day stop-ins, they now force you to go online to reserve a bay, which is often booked till next week -- because we all know when our car is going to break or can wait a week to fix it when it does. I guess Im stuck working in the rain while people book appointments they dont go to, leaving bays wide open and a worker twiddling their thumbs. Example: today at 10:00AM both lifts are wide open, 2 non-lift bays are open, but I cant make a reservation today because the website doesnt allow it, when I called the attendent told me they need to keep the lift bays open (WHY?!?), and people have managed to book random times throughout the day, leaving no window (that the attendent is willing to book at least) for others who NEED IT. Please change it back, Im sure this was a great idea on paper but its terrible in practice.

3 stars only because theyre only opened on the weekends. They have car manuals/schematics that are donated to them and are pretty outdated
