I´ve always thought it´d be interesting if there was an ¨Auto Hobby Shop¨ similar to what they had on all the military bases I lived on. Basically a big garage, with lifts, tools, parts washers, machines for turning brake rotors, etc. But you bring your car there, and do the work yourself. You just pay for stall time, and to use anything that wears (ie using the rotor turning machien). They also have most fluids in stock, lots of misc parts you´d need, and had a pretty close relationship with Napa so if they didn´t have what you needed, they could get it in within a few minutes from Napa. They didn´t have dyno´s or anything cool like that. Just a place for people who want to do things them selves rather then pay a shop to do it to save money, yet don´t have the tools and gadgets needed to do it at home. I just don´t see it being very profitable. I don´t think the ones on base were too profitable, but they weren´t there to make money, they were there just to break even and give the troops a place to work on their cars on base.
