Auto Skills Center

"BLUF: Shop is very clean. Linda was great. VERY STRICT POLICIES. - Can't operate lifts on your own - Can't raise 2 post lift above 2 ft! - Can't work underneath the 2 post lift. - no cutting or grinding - no use of heat of any kind to loosen rusty nuts and bolts - minimal tools available - no painting of any kind to include undercoating - no gas work"

"It's a good place to work on your own vehicle. There are a few tools put out for use. But, you're better off bringing your own. The attendant runs a tight ship and makes sure everybody does their part to keep the place nice."

"The lady that works there is a straight up micro manager. I went there to dispose of my oil and she was just hovering over me telling me not to spill the oil and clean up after myself and she kept on repeating herself. It's not my first rodeo in disposing of oil. MWR you need to check your girl. Bad customer service."

"**FYI, it's only open to those with base access. Friendly staff with lots of tools and decent lifts. It's 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 I'm stuck working in the rain while people book appointments they don't 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 can't make a reservation today because the website doesn't 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, I'm sure this was a great idea on paper but it's terrible in practice."

"I'm a regular at the Auto Skills Shop. I've 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 don't have everything, but it's definitely enough to do most work. I typically bring my own tools, which is what I'd recommend anyway. Scheduling an appointment isn't necessary, it's basically all walk ins only, you just sign the clipboard and pull right in!"
