Did you check your tire pressure? Have you conducted a fluids check recently? Are all of your lights working properly? Do you spot any damages on your windshield? Are your wipers working properly in case you encounter a rainstorm?
These are all items to consider regarding your vehicle before you start a long drive. The key to keeping your vehicle safe and reliable for any adventure is regular maintenance. Fort Benning Auto Skills Center makes regular maintenance on your vehicles easy and affordable by providing certified mechanics, space, equipment, and do-it-yourself instruction.

Our certified professionals are eager to handle your car care offering services from oil changes and brake inspections and repairs to tire services, air conditioning checks and charges, and so much more! Fort Benning Auto Skills Center is excited to be able to offer the Nitrogen Tire Inflation System. What’s so special about the Nitrogen Tire Inflation System? Compressed Nitrogen has a larger gas molecule than compressed air, so low tire pressure due to leakage is minimized. This system allows for easy, cost effective filling of tires with pure Nitrogen. Replace the air in all four tires for $27 and receive “top offs” for free for the entire life of your tires! For a minimal hourly fee, you’ll find just about everything you need in our self-serve bays. The indoor work bays come equipped with vehicle lifts, a broad selection of tools and state-of-the-art equipment including online diagnostic databases. This free computer program provides easy-toread, step-by-step instructions on every repair imaginable. It also tells you what parts you may need to purchase and what you should expect to pay for them. What’s even better news? You’ll likely find the parts you need in stock at the Auto Skills Center, priced less than you’ll find off post, and tax free! When you have a prolonged repair job and not a lot of time on your hands, you don’t have to worry about storage availability on post. Long term vehicle storage is available at the Auto Skills Center for lengthy auto repairs or rebuilds so you can take your time with doing the job right.
