service bays

Mechanic work areas

Service bays are enclosed work areas in an automotive repair shop or garage, each designed to accommodate one vehicle at a time.

A shop's capacity is measured by its bays: a six-bay garage.

The term extends to similar compartmented work spaces for aircraft maintenance or industrial equipment repair.
