Since the war's end, many per- sons permanently stationed here, usually men in the regular Navy, have been purchasing vehicles. Sometimes when these cars are bought, they need repairs or re- placement of broken or missing parts and the men usually bring their work to the garage here. Grease jobs, battery checks, oil changes and tire changes are the most common jobs at the garage. You can also have spark plugs cleaned or have small parts re- placed.
