🔧 Naval Base San Diego Auto Hobby Shop

Good resource for gear heads to work on their car, but 50$ just to not use a lift for 2 hours is a little ridiculous. Also the check in guy (not always the same person ) they always seem very short tempered and will look inside your car to make sure the parts you have line up with what you are telling them (I had two wheels in my car unrelated to what I was working on and he insisted I would need the tire machine for them even though I wasn’t installing them and also got mad when I called them wheels and not rims)

I love the auto hobby shop. I have been multiple times but today was not the best. I was belittled by the workers doubting my skills while I am a certified auto technician. They kept asking if I knew what I was doing. I finished an oil change in under 10 min and they didn’t even believe that I completed it and thought I did something wrong and messed up the car and wanted to inspect the car. Other than the workers I would recommend.

Everybody there was nice helped me with my first time diy on changing brakes and rotors. I will definitely be back.

Dropped off some old brake pads and rotors. Had the appropriate bins/dumpsters for both. Very nice Staff as well.

Great place, Has saved me $$$$ on repairs that otherwise would have cost much much more according to Google search and phone calls to dealers and mobiles who come to you outfits, just good solid staff who help ( don't do the work for u) but help! This is a great service for us Retired and Active duty and I appreciate them so much, these people work hard and enjoy what they do for us! I'll go there just to get my air pressure checked! It's a great place!!
