repair bay

Vehicle service area

A repair bay is a designated area in a garage, hangar, or workshop where vehicles, aircraft, or machinery are serviced and fixed.

Each bay typically has space for one vehicle plus the equipment needed to work on it: The mechanic pulled the truck into repair bay three.

The term appears in both real-world automotive contexts and science fiction settings involving spacecraft.
