This place is very, very cool! There's not much info online other than hours... but it's 12 dollars an hour and then 10 dollars for tool rental for the day!They have pretty much every single tool you could ever need to do anything! Even rags and a small store to buy most fluids and tune up parts!The staff is very cool although there is not a ton of staff they all are helpful when you need!They have places to dump all fluids and your used parts aswell!!! It's really a one-stop shop for DIY car needs! Big or small! I saw some big projects people were working on and also other just small brake jobs! Will definitely be back! Highly highly recommend ?

Excellent services available and provided to active duty & military retirees for a very reasonable price!I prefer to change oil myself to know it's done and right & also saves money too. This MWR auto hobby shop has several automotive bays with nice vehicle lifts and plenty of the adjustable height rollable oil drain catch reservoirs.The staff are friendly and will help with guiding you on & off and operating the lifts. It costs approx 10 dollars and is very convenient.They also dispose of the used oil & filters so no need for you to take to used oil & filters to an auto parts store or recycling center.They also have loaner tools available in tool room for a rental...read full review

The whole team that work there are really helpful. But because the navy cut their budget. they can't function or give moreTechnical support because they are not supported by the navy. The military wants to cut programs like this to save money.
