About this Event

This 3-hour, hands-on workshop gives you the skills and confidence to take care of your car. No experience? No problem. This is for total beginners (ages 16+), and you’ll be learning in a judgment-free, supportive space.


What you'll learn:

Pop the hood, check fluids, replace filters, and jumpstart an engine

Change a tire, check tread depth and air pressure, inflate a tire and examine your brakes

Know-how to keep your car running smoothly and avoid costly repairs

A plan—you’ll work with a mechanic to create a simple maintenance routine that works for your vehicle


Why This Matters

Emergencies happen—flat tires, low oil, a dead battery. Working with a mechanic can also be intimidating to new car owners. But with the right skills, these moments don’t have to derail your plans. In just three hours, you’ll gain the confidence to handle the basics and keep your car running smoothly.


Meet Your Instructor 👨‍🔧
