NS Norfolk Auto Skills Center team of John, Tim and Tom are truly professional and phenomenal! All you do is ask and theyll gladly assist you right away. First time using this facility here for an oil change and they treated me like a VIP. Thank you, again and cant wait to come back in the near future!!!

$5 to rent a lift with tools to use. Mechanics on stand by to give advice. Great people, easy test to insure you are competent enough to work on the vehicle.nice clean place to work. Highly recommend if you dont have tools and/or a lift

They basically have any tool you could need and offer almost any service you could need for your vehicle at a fraction of the price of going to a dealership or mechanic out in town.

When visiting daughter I will definitely take some time off to perform some upkeep maintenance work on her car. This shop is very clean, extremely helpful staff and the best place to work in a car on a rainy day...

My experience was GREAT! The bay was very clean. They had a tool box with the bay that had every thing I needed to do maintenance on my car. The staff was very professional and helpful.

Awesome place to work on your car. Techs cant perform anything for you but they give really sound advice. At 5 bucks an hour to use a lifted bay plus access to any tool youd ever need, so worth the money. Highly recommend if you need to do anything to your car.

Appreciated help changing my tires. I have never been allowed to change my own tires, but after training on the mount and balancing machines, I did all 4 tires. They only charge half price for using the machines if you do the work yourself. Thanks for your help and support, going to do my other car next week!

Cheap! All tools you need are here. You can get most of minor mechanic issues fixed as a DIY. Their employees can’t work on your vehicle, but they do offer you some advise on how to do things.

You save so much time and money using the lifts here. You also get to use all their tools and air hose. They cant touch your car, but can offer advice and guidance if you ask for it. I came here to rotate my tires, which is very tedious without the proper equipment. It only took 10 minutes and 5 dollars and I was out. It is 5 dollars per hour btw. I hear they get crowded so get here first.

Review №24

It is on base, so you will not be allowed on unless you have an DOD ID or a retired or dependent ID. $5 an hour for a lift and a few bucks more for tools and a wealth of knowledge from the staff, you cant beat that. Ive used them numerous times to work on my Hellcat and other peoples cars. This location has 10 lifts as well so youre much more likely to get a lift any time you show up.

Review №25

Do not go here if you have to drop your gas tank to replace a fuel pump. It is not allowed but they not put that on there web site , I got a tow here my fuel pump gave and there was no fuel pressure now I need to tow it somewhere else and this wasted my time and a lot of money, if there is work that they dont allow it needs to be posted on the web site

I visited the shop on 8/20/20@1030 hours. i asked to have a trouble code read on my 08 f150. i was told that the code readers could read vehicles up to 05 vehicles only. i had previously visited the shop with my 06 vehicle and had my trouble read and diagnosed to help resolved my problem.

UPDATE AUG 2018: Huge upgrade!! The NEX Autoport has moved buildings (actually I think they moved to another building on Little Creek) and the Hobby Shop has acquired the entire building!! 11 bays now and lots of lifts (9 or 10)!! Same great guys working there just a lot more room.This place is great for the automotive DIYer. My only complaint could be that there are only 5 bays and 4 lifts, sometimes there is a wait.

I change my oil when I need to and same with my brakes but I frequently visit here to watch people that have zero idea what they are doing ignore help from others and cut their struts off their vehicles or puncture their gas tanks.
