I'd be all over that also.

When I was in the military in the '80's and '90's, Navy bases had 'auto hobby shops', with lifts, tools, expert help (ie crusty Navy Chiefs), and even paint booths. (I did my first paint job in the North Island Paint Booth - it turned out 1000% better than I thought it was going to, and also did my first 911 oil change there) Do bases still offer these to active duty military?
They do...I used the shop in North Island all the time in the 80's.

Here at Pax River there are four bays and a bunch of retired guys who really know their stuff willing to help.

They let retirees in if it is slow. I rotate my tires there all the time during oil changes. Active duty get first dibs, just has it should be.
