Oceana Auto Hobby Shop

"Great and knowledgeable staff. Competitive pricing for their stalls and have pretty much any tool you might need to perform repairs on your vehicle."

"NOT A GOOD OR BAD REVIEW May not be the best place to start if you have no automotive repair experience, bring a knowledgeable person with you bring your registration or proof of ownership Price per hour has risen significantly over the years. It use to be $3-$3.50 an hour currently $10.00. MWR services across the base use to pay for the auto hobby shop. It was great when you could come and learn and help others out because it was inexpensive. It would be difficult for an active duty member to have more tools then available here. Definitely a great resource."

"So being stationed in California for the past few years and Japan before that has given me a different view on how things are run here on these Virginia bases. I gave it two stars because the people here seem to be more about money making than anything else. In the west coast and beyond they left you be, unless you wanted or needed help, but from my experience here they were too busy to answer questions unless you wanted them to do it for you and they charged you after the fact whether you asked for help or not. Also they don't let you use the balancer and charge for it. They also charge you for mounting your own tires, per each one. Like I said they are more worried about making money than helping the sailor. It's the same as going to a civilian auto hobby shop, the difference is that they are more inclined to help you without the snarky comments."

"Awesome shop. Was really helpful today when I ran into a mishap with my oil drain plug. It was put on too tight by an oil change place my wife took my truck to while I was on deployment."

"I've done major work on several vehicles here. Staff is very knowledgeable and supportive. Home away from home."
