Auto Hobby
State-of-the-art automotive equipment is available on a self-help or technician-assisted basis. Current hours listed at the bottom of this page. In addition to the drive-in bays with hydraulic lifts, patrons can paint their cars and rebuild their engines onsite as well. The benefit of our self-help capabilities is that it allows the opportunity for customers to work on their own vehicles with the equipment they can't get at home.
Auto Hobby is also home to the Resale Lot, carwash, and vacuum center. We offer routine car maintenance, on-base tow service, and jumpstart/lockout solutions.
