The Connect Vets Skills Center is currently going through a soft open and we appreciate your patience and understanding while we navigate today's environment. 

Tools we currently have available to use:

  • Tire changing and balancing machines

  • 2 post lift capable of 9,000 lbs

  • Air Compressor with Pneumatic tools (wrenches, hammers, ratchets, cut-off wheels, sanders, etc.)

  • Transmission and normal jacks with stands

  • Normal shop tools including pullers, large sockets (over 1"), wrenches, hammers, screwdrivers, etc.

  • If we don't have it, ask, we might be able to purchase it so other Veterans don't have to.

We are currently doing tire change-overs, part replacements (motor mounts, batteries, alternators, etc.), light fabrication, oil changes, and other routine maintenance.
