They have many bays not being used, but tell you that there are none available. Not sure if they re still under renovation or what? It would be very helpful if they posted their hours and cutoff times online to get a bay. Don t waste your time with the self-service car wash area, it isn t worth using. Employees are nice, that s about all this place has going for it.

Inconvenient to try and work on a vehicle with its operating hours and the safety classes should be held everyday they are open and not only at a certain hour on a certain day. On the other hand the car was is fair, the pressure did the job but the coin machine did not work so I had to use the card reader and seemed to be priced fair on washing my F250 at $10 for what was probably 20 mins of washing.

Needed to view special data for my truck that basic scanners won t read. Called and front desk guy(who was very polite and kind) said yeah that s fine a tech will have to go out into the parking lot with you. I got there and the tech was lazy and didn t want to go outside cause it was cold . or even sit in my truck with a working heater so I could look at the data and told the front desk guy to sell me bay time . Overall the front desk guy was nice but the tech was extremely unprofessional. Do not go here

It is one of the biggest automotive skill centers the U. S Army has. This place is clean and very well organized. They have all the tools you will need to fix any issue on your vehicle. Employees are all very experienced in their various fields. And they are all very friendly and polite to customers regardless of who you are. They are always ready to help customers out or even train and educate customers on whatever the customer is working on or has questions about.

The car wash area sucks. Idk if there never maintained or what but I went there to wash my truck and all but three car wash areas were marked with white tape that said out of order. There were three that did not have any white tape so usually that means they work. Out of those three only one worked. Then after that I went to try using the vacuum. I tried two of them and decided to just stop wasting my time because one already took my money and the others one wasn t even lit up. So maybe those problems should be resolved because it seems like whoever works there doesn't maintain them at all. Oh and the one car was that did work would not push out any soap and the brush did not work. It was just the water that worked. So pretty much none of them worked.

Pretty good place to do work. Staff is helpful and friendly. Lots of rules but to be expected with how people sometimes treat other people's property. I'd recommend.

Wonderful place, gives us soldiers a nice place to go and work. Especially if we live on post, and can get fined for working in our parking lot, or housing area. Totally bogus rule, especially of they close this place, like they say.

Great place to go work on your car around people who are mechanics who are more than willing to give advice and/or help if needed. Tools are supplied and they have just about everything you could need. A HUGE benefit to the Fort Riley car enthusiast and aspiring mechanic/home garage wrench turner. Go use this place so it can continue to be funded!

You will need to have a safety class to bring your car in but everything from oil changes to full exhaust tunes are ready available and they offer advise and question if you need help in anyway possible for $6 an hour you could easily knock out a simple tire change but be ready to pay a $2 fee for deposal of the tire! Other then that this place has anything you need to help get you driving the daily

Need an everyday safety class cause if you car is broke down on a Friday you can't go work on it there on sat cause you have to have the safety class and its only on Thursdays! Totally stupid. Also if you have a friend that has a safety card they should be able to let you use there card just pay a fee for doing that. This way they make money both ways and someone is there that took the safety class to supervise them but they dont which is stupid. Just food for thought. But all in all very nice ppl there.

My first time of visiting the place, I lost $20 to the coin change machine. The machine did not return my money or coin. Also, the pressure washer I used on that day was broken. I really had a bad experience on my first day. I don't know if I will ever visit the place anymore.

Great place to work on your vehicle for active duty , retired personnel and National guard I believe. All the tools you need and lifts for your vehicle so you can get underneath those hard to reach areas

Not getting 5 starts because they are undermanned and service is usually slow resulting. The facility is great! Not to many jobs you couldn't compete here.

The staff is short handed but they remain friendly, helping when and where they can and answering questions. The facility is old and out dated with broken equipment but it's enough to get the most jobs done.

Nothing works under staffed and there hours are horrendous. Probably under paid as well. Man this general doesn't know what soldiers want and obviously forgot this place was here. Surprised this place is still open at all.

The car wash only had 3 stalls open, the rest had cones placed up to block and out of service. Looks run down and not maintained. Was no soap for the car wash. Waste of money at that point.

Excellent place for those with the knowledge but not the tools to accomplish simple jobs. Rather do my tires here than pay some guy 10x the prices and half a day

Always great help and a good environment to work on, did CV axles this trip, having a lift is money well spent

Some vacuums eats your change and do not work. Coin changers do not work. Got my money refunded by calling the automotive center.
