Abstract: A motor vehicle lubricating facility for enabling a workman to perform lubricating functions on an automobile rapidly and efficiently with a minimum of waste time and effort. The facility comprises a building structure with a basement floor and a ground floor supported on columns above the basement floor. In the ground floor are a plurality of rectangular longitudinal openings in parallel relation, each adapted to be straddled by an automobile driven over the ground floor through door openings at the front and back of the building structure. Adjustably supported at a selected one of several heights on the columns between the ground and basement floor and substantially coinciding in area with each of the openings in the ground floor, is a "catwalk" or grilled metal platform, on which a workman may stand to perform lubricating functions with respect to parts of the automobile accessible only from beneath the automobile. The I-beams supporting the ground floor at each side of the openings in the ground floor provide tracks on which runs a mobile dolly of the type carrying a power jack as fully disclosed and claimed in my copending application concurrently filed herewith. A mobile tank operating on the same tracks as the dolly, is provided into which oil may be drained directly from the crank case, differential or transmission of an automobile. A metered hose line is provided by which oil or other lubricants supplied therethrough to the work area is automatically measured. A work shelf is suspended from the columns at one side of the catwalk for holding tools and the like used by the workman.
