Auto Crafts

Ft. Ord Auto-Craft shop had all the necessary tools, plus instructors to help. The only requirement was that you attend a one night auto tune-up course. The two hours class would teach you to replace your carâs point and plugs and how to use a timing light and dwell meter to properly adjust the engine. Facilities included 5 lifts for lube and oil changes, diagnostic equipment, certified smog, lamp, brake inspection station, lubrication racks, arch torches, bubble and electric wheel balancers, drum and disk brake turning, sandblasting and spray painting booth, body fender shop, tool check-out and car washes. Special tune-up classes for women were also availible.
