About this Event

๐Ÿš— Learn the โ€œcar stuffโ€ you wish youโ€™d known years ago โ€” and start saving money every time you drive.
This class is designed to help you feel confident, capable, and in control of the giant machine you climb into every day. If youโ€™ve ever felt confused, intimidated, or in the dark about your car โ€” this is for you.
๐ŸŽฏ Perfect for ages 14+ (limited to just 15 students!)
If youโ€™ve always wanted to understand your car but never had the opportunity to learn in a welcoming, hands-on way โ€” now is your chance!
What youโ€™ll learn:
๐Ÿ”ง Basic automotive safety โ€” stay safe around your vehicle
๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Basic automotive maintenance โ€” what actually matters
๐Ÿ” How to navigate a mechanic with confidence โ€” confirm or question repairs before you pay
โš ๏ธ What to do in common emergency situations โ€” flat tire, warning lights, breakdowns, etc.
This is NOT a lecture โ€” itโ€™s 100% hands-on! ๐Ÿ™Œ
Weโ€™ll have up to 4 vehicles in class, so if youโ€™d like your own car to receive a free inspection, just let me know ahead of time.
What to bring:
๐Ÿ‘– Clothes you can get dirty in
๐Ÿ‘Ÿ Closed-toed shoes
๐Ÿ’ง Water
๐ŸŒž Sunscreen or a sweater (weโ€™re outside the WHOLE time!)
๐Ÿ“˜ Your ownerโ€™s manual (if you have it)
What youโ€™ll take home:
๐Ÿงค A pair of reusable gloves
๐Ÿš˜ A tire pressure gauge
๐Ÿ“„ Pre-printed notes
๐ŸŽ A snack
๐Ÿ’ฐ And a lifetime of knowledge that can save you thousands of dollars on car ownership
This class is perfect for you if you:

  • ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ Feel intimidated by your car
  • ๐Ÿ’ธ Want to avoid getting overcharged
  • ๐Ÿ›ป Want to understand your vehicle better
  • ๐Ÿง  Prefer learning by doing, not just listening

This class is NOT for you if you:

  • Youโ€™re already an experienced mechanic (this is beginner-friendly!)
