Synopsis
The Auto Shop is the main hub of the game. Here you can modify your car, store items, and use a variety of stations.
The shop is owned by Oppy, who begrudgingly allows The Driver to use it as a base.
The Auto Shop is called Pine Tree Auto Repair as shown by a sign at the front of the shop. Another sign out the front of the shop displays fuel pricing from when the shop was in operation.
The shop itself is comprised of four main sections. There is a dilapidated shop area with broken shelving, a vending machine, shop counter, a community notice board and a bench area with a computer on it at the back of the room. None of these items are able to be interacted with. Connected to the back wall of the shop area is a bathroom locked by a keypad. To the side of the shop area is the main garage area which also has a back room connected to it.

A big screen version of the car's current status. How's that high res lookin'?

Parking Sensor
Logbook Entry
This advanced Spatial Recognition and Pattern Communicating Light Array may be the most advanced invention ever found in a garage. Or it may just be a weight sensor. Who's to know?

An artist's workstation, these are your brushes and your palette, so to speak. Let's get creative!
Transfer Trunk
Logbook Entry
Extra moving capacity is exactly what you'll need after those longer, deeper drives. Now you can transfer all your resources and items with ease, thanks to this portable garage buddy.
The transfer trunk is obtained from the Friendly Dumpster at the Auto Shop after returning from the first run in the game. It can be used to transfer items from one place to another and can also be used as additional storage space in a pinch.
Transfer Trunk Storage Grid
Back Room Stations
These stations are located in the back room of the Auto Shop. The room is locked at both entrances by a Heavy Duty Lock and is inaccessible until the Driver obtains an Impact Hammer.
Oppy's Pneumatube
Logbook Entry
The Pneumatubes, also known as the Tubes, span the Zone. A low-tech, low maintenance method of communication and delivery, they've endured in a place where so many advanced alternatives have not.
The Pneumatube input and output are located to the left of the door into the storeroom.
Fabricated Stations
These stations need to be crafted at the Fabrication Station and placed in the garage.
Incident Board
Logbook Entry
Records the number of runs since your last, uh, you know...

Athletic Stimulation Station
Logbook Entry
It's such a generously sized target. How difficult could it be to score a few points?
Fish Tank
Logbook Entry
Fish have been kept since at least the time of the Sumerians. There's no reason not to keep something a little more esoteric in here, too.
