Ted, I worked in several old gas stations that had these, grease pit was a good name for them. Three and half to four foot wide, about six or seven feet long, and deep? Well, how tall are you? And do you like to work at arms reach or duck a little? Most were shoulder high to me and I'm six foot. Older pickups were fine, but newer cars felt kinda close. Some had a pair of lights built into the walls. You'll need a floor drain for water. And very necessary is a set of steps, to get in and out. One nice one had a shelf for tools, recessed in the wall. A lot depends on what you'll work on, how long the vehicles are, how wide they are. And last but not least, some way to cover it to keep the dog from falling in, planks usually. Sometimes the cover was recessed below floor level, usually not, as in the shops it was always in use. Hope this helps. John in Nebr.
