Damn, I would KILL to be able to work on my car in an environment like that.

Yep, now that's a dream garage! That definitely must take the edge off not having a garage at your residence.

I suppose something like that in Jersey would go for $50.00 an hour with insurance companies and the EPA looking over your shoulder.

Your a lucky individual.

The Auto Craft Shop also provides free tool use too. The tool room has more tools than any dealership I've ever seen. They have about 10 sets of rolling tool boxes for use. They also have a ton of special tools and diagnostic tools. Snap On is the brand of tools stocked in the tool room.

$6 an hour for a flat bay, $8 for a lift bay. Safety / EPA is a big deal at this shop as it should be in all shops. You can even bring oils /fluids from home and legally dispose of them here.

I wish this shop was next door to my house. I live about 5 miles from the shop. Very, very convienent.

Believe me, I thank my lucky stars every day having the the opportunity to use this fantastic shop!

LMAO!!!!

That's exactly what the intent of that chair is in the shop. You didn't see the suggestion box next the service/fee sign? That's how all that stuff got added to the shop. I didn't think to take a picture of the lobby that they built for spouses/Class B dependants. They built a glass wall (so the loved one can keep her eye balls on her man working in the shop while watching Oprah or Ellen) without having to experience the noise, smells, heat/cold of the shop, they put in nice furniture, tables, TV, A/C, a nice bathroom, etc. The chair in the shop is for the hardcore loved one that refuses to be more than 10' from her man! I'll take a picture of the lobby next time I'm on APG.

Yes Sir,

I've always utilized Auto Craft Shops around the world for the last 35 years. They even have then at permanent military bases overseas, Germany, England, Italy, Korea, etc.

I'm very lucky!
