The father of one of my friends from High School had a place like that. It was small and not fancy. I think they also sold auto parts as well. You had the option of working on your car yourself or his father could do the work for you like a normal shop. I don't think it was a really busy place.

At one point, some cable channel was doing a show on odd businesses and came by to film an episode. It turned out that no customers were showing up that day to take advantage of the fix it yourself capabilities, so my friend ended up working on his own car at the place.

I pretty sure his father ran that place for decades like that.
