Military base offering facility for drivers (7,7)

I believe the answer is:

service station

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'facility for drivers' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'military base' is the wordplay.
'military' becomes 'service'.
'base' becomes 'station' (synonyms).
'service'+'station'='SERVICE STATION'

'offering' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for service station that I've seen before include "fuel supplier" , "during long run, refuelling here?" , "It caters" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
