Auto Hobby Shop is high performance, low cost for airmen
LITTLE ROCK AIR FORCE BASE — The Auto Hobby Shop offers members a place to repair or service their personal vehicles, as well as offering basic maintenance classes.
Individuals on base have access to equipment from a ball-joint press to a car lift at a low cost compared to other commercial mechanics.
One of the major benefits of the shop is that base members can save money by repairing their own vehicles utilizing equipment they may not have at home, as well as have a mechanic on standby to educate them and answer any questions they may have.
“I just enjoy helping people out and seeing them walk away with a smile,” said Thomas Johnson, 19th Force Support Squadron Auto Hobby Shop lead mechanic. “Their car is fixed the right way, and they’ve saved a substantial amount of money.”
Good customer service and a knowledgeable staff are the pillars of the Auto Hobby Shop.
“When people come in, they get firsthand knowledge from a certified mechanic while learning basic mechanics on the vehicle,” said James Simpson, 19th FSS Auto Hobby Shop parts and tools attendant.
Tools and a helping hand aren’t the only things offered at the Auto Hobby Shop; classes are taught by professional mechanics and are available to everyone.
At some point, people will experience mechanical difficulties with their cars. They can rest easy knowing the Auto Hobby Shop of the Little Rock Air Force Base is there to assist them with all of their mechanical needs.
