They had shops like that on the Navy bases back in the 90s. You could rent a bay for an hourly fee, use their tools, etc. They even had a paint booth.

They don't have the same liability issues that a civilian company would have.

Unfortunately, that's the fly in the ointment.

Sue happy assholes. You need what's called a Garage Liability policy to cover your ass.

It depends on the size of the base what they have. My last place had 8 bays . My current assignment has 19 bays and a paint booth, and an engine dyno
