3 hour hands-on workshop designed to teach you how to have honest conversations with mechanics (so you can save money on car repair).
About this Event

🚗 Learn the “car stuff” you wish you’d known years ago — 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 you’ve ever felt confused, intimidated, or in the dark about your car — this is for you.
🎯 Perfect for ages 14+ (limited to just 15 students!)
If you’ve always wanted to understand your car but never had the opportunity to learn in a welcoming, hands-on way — now is your chance!
What you’ll learn:
🔧 Basic automotive safety — stay safe around your vehicle
🛠️ Basic automotive maintenance — what actually matters
🔍 How to navigate a mechanic with confidence — confirm or question repairs before you pay
⚠️ What to do in common emergency situations — flat tire, warning lights, breakdowns, etc.
This is NOT a lecture — it’s 100% hands-on! 🙌
We’ll have up to 4 vehicles in class, so if you’d like your own car to receive a free inspection, just let me know ahead of time.
What to bring:
👖 Clothes you can get dirty in
👟 Closed-toed shoes
💧 Water
🌞 Sunscreen or a sweater (we’re outside the WHOLE time!)
📘 Your owner’s manual (if you have it)
What you’ll take home:
🧤 A pair of reusable gloves
🚘 A tire pressure gauge
📄 Pre-printed notes
🍎 A snack
💰 And a lifetime of knowledge that can save you thousands of dollars on car ownership
This class is perfect for you if you:

  • 🙋‍♀️ Feel intimidated by your car
  • 💸 Want to avoid getting overcharged
  • 🛻 Want to understand your vehicle better
  • 🧠 Prefer learning by doing, not just listening

This class is NOT for you if you:



  • You’re already an experienced mechanic (this is beginner-friendly!)
