If you have a CIV/MIL CAC, this is a great place to do car maintenance. You need the safety training--check the website for updated hours for the safety briefings. They are super busy on Saturdays, but Friday afternoons are typically pretty open.

There are only about three, 4 post car lifts, and the asymmetrical car lifts take up the rest of the garage. Just know this before you come. There's a safety class that you must go through on Friday @ 1230 & 1800 that costs $5. It takes about an hour, and then you'll be on your way. There weren't many employees there at the time that I went, so you might need help from other customers to ground guide your vehicle in or out. Not many clean rags to pass around because I had to go in the used rags bin. Wipe down your funnel before use, and the tools are clean.

This place needs more tools. There seems to be a shortage of tools at the work bays. I spent more time waiting to ask for a missing tool and waiting for the shop workers to find the tools, than actually working on my car. That seems a bit extreme, and I have to agree, but I hope you get the picture. The younger and taller, of the two older gentlemen, who work at the shop was extremely rude and very sarcastic, but I am starting to understand that is the norm for life long residents of this area. I hope the labor shortage of the COVID era changes soon and this Auto Skillshop brings on board employees who enjoy their work, and like to interact with the Fort Meade community.

Caution. Must take an unadvertised required class only available on Fridays to even change oil. Cannot balance tires, alignment or do any services advertised because they don't have trained staff.

It's always great to work on my car at the skills center. They have a plethora of tools and the staff is always there to walk you through if you need assistance. Recommend to all eligible patrons that enjoy working on their car or truck.

DIYers Paradise! Tom is the best. He knows his stuff. The garage is equipped with everything you need, from airing-up your tires to rebuilding an engine or transmission.SAVE thousands and learn more about the service and repair of your ride in the bargain.Most lifts are $12/hour. Tire, wheel alignment, and welding services are available for a fee.My 30-year-old Previa van will live for another thirty, thanks to Auto Skills!

Make sure you keep asking for a bay when you are on wait list or they will "accidentally" cross your name off.

There's only one day available to take the required 1-hour course to use the shop. I've gone on more than one occasion and not been able to take the required course because they were either closed or the instructor wasn't there. They do not accept safety briefs from other bases.

So glad this is still around and operating theyre closing them everywhere. Tom was amazing in running the place damn near alone at his age with little to no hiccups. He had help from several folks and they were awesome giving their time and patience as well.. use each other if you can.. I had several guys help me when I asked for it. Felt the love. So yeah very busy place...little pricey if you remember the old school prices lol, but what isn't high prices these days and still better than having it close. Bring your patience when you go. Tools are good, numerous and variety is there but not always great. Bring anything you have if you need it just easier.. stay present if you can for the line for lifts or keep checking in. The wait list can get hairy since Tom is overwhelmed running the place alone. They have several types of lifts and just a couple were broken.. they have other major work equipment for alignments and tire work you can do on your own but with the limited staff good luck.. Love this place i could get used to be a regular. Wish I lived closer almost an hour away.

A great place to rent a bay and get some work done on your vehicle. A decent tool box for each bay, and a tool room with everything else you would need.
