Great to know that they have the resources to assist with an emergency with providing a bay , a lift if needed and enough tools to fix your vehicle... also having a mechanic on hand to provide guidance
For Soldiers new and old this is a resource to use and keep alive. The guys at the shop are supportive to new/first time DIY. The shop can do work at a fair value price. Its a community. The hours posted on the website are correct. Recommend stopping here for services.
Helpful staff. Nice lifts. If you have small tools like wrenches or screw drivers bring them, tool boxes are a little disorganized. They have all of the tools you'll need otherwise.
This place is not good at all for tire repairs especially if you have TPMS on your tires. I went in with four brand new tires to be replaced and all four of them had TPMS on them not only are they incompetent, but they do not accept responsibility for their lack of experience. Two of my TPMS sensors were broken by these clowns, and they had the nerve to tell me that it was already busted. I wouldn’t even trust him with a bike tire.
Neat place to do some maintenance. Have a decent tool setup for diy jobs. Would recommend, be careful with the locks on the flat lift, they are tricky.
These guys are so awesome!!! I needed new brakes and rotors all around and my dealership price was way out of my budget. I was so stressed thinking of how I would afford it plus new tires (as they told me I needed). Guys at Mcguire Auto Hobby inspired me to buy online and bring in for them to install or could guide me through it myself.
I opted to let them install it!! They did just that plus let me know I am not in need of tires right now as dealership told me.
Not being a car person means that I'm often gullible to things I'm told at dealerships and car shops because they know I don't have a way to dispute what is being told to me.
Anyway I am so grateful to the team at the Auto Hobby JBMDL, who also did a comprehensive check while doing the brakes and rotor install.
Highly recommend them to anyone who needs car services done or is mechanically inclined who can do it themselves. I'm so glad I stopped by and will definitely be back!!
Great place to do your own work. They do simple services but have limited staff. So if you are not flexible waiting or leaving the full day, might not be for you. However the prices are excellent and they are always helpful with whatever you are doing.
Probably the best hobby shop I’ve encountered in the Air Force so far. Friendly staff who don’t judge you for not being a car expert, and all the fixings you need from a hobby shop.
The people here are really nice and helpful in all honesty.
However, I wouldn't suggest you leave items there. Even if the people at the front desk are ok with a box of parts sitting inside, that doesn't mean they will keep up with those parts.
I managed to lose $250 worth of Motorcycle parts here in the Fall. I'm under the impression that they were thrown away. Frame sliders and everything.
Excellent resource for eligible patrons. Quite literally, it is a garage of professionals ready to help you do the work (and learn), do the work for you (and be paid a really fair price), or provide you with exceptional equipment and facilities to enable you to do an efficient job on your vehicle.
Staff is amazing and helpful. Keep up the good work.
Had to change exhaust on car was very convenient booked bay on line then went in at scheduled time. Used lift and was in and out by 1 and a half hours. They had a dumpster for metal and also one for card board to put all the old parts in and get rid of the cartons the new parts came in. Cost for bay was only $8.50 will definitely use it again when I have a major issue that requires a lift.
The shop is a really nice resource for do-it-yourselfers.
Just be aware of limitations. I assumed they could balance 35” knobby all-terrains tires and the weight sets are too small for such tires.
It’s best to call a head if you have specific needs.
I have had nothing but excellent experiences at this place. They helped me without hesitation, the lifts work flawlessly, all the equipment I needed was readily available. The workers at this shop will not hesitate to help you. A job that would have cost me over 750 in labor cost me around 52 dollars using this shop, as well as experience gained from their help and completing the job nearly on my own. Very spacious, clean bays, and even when they are full a spot open relatively quickly, so just wait around and ask them questions!
Tried to use the many, many EV charging stations while my husband was at the medical center. Apparently they are deactivated at this time. This caused incredible inconvience and caused me to miss a full day of work due to having to search for another charger after having counted on this for my return trip. I nearly didn't make it, limped into one finally with 0 miles (I had had a full charge when I started the trip to the base.) How about some signage???
Great indoor facility for working your own vehicle. Reasonable rates, all tools provided & staff are patient with dum questions. They have several on floor bay areas and lifts available, tire repair machines and more. Located on Maguire (MDL) base. Must have military or base civil service ID to enter. Should assure repair job doesn't disable vehicle beyond closing time or alternate rates apply for overnight parking. Truly a do-yourselfer's ideal concept. Beats working on the street in front of my home. H. Thompson (BOP).
Apparently the place just got renovated but the tool boxes are not in order, tools are missing, I have to take tools from another tool box, some tools I needed were not available and i spent almost 25 minutes waiting just to get a lift because the gentlemen that was supposed to check me in was eating a sandwich right in front of me and after I got the bay, no one offered to help or even asked if I needed anythinf. I suggest they do something about their employees and the way they run the place. I've been to other hobby shops with a great system that works and this is not one of them.
