Includes; Troubleshooting potential problems and what you can do for common break-downs, tire changing, brake problems, belts, air filter, radiator leaks, wipers, sealers, lights and fuses, jump-starting, fuel problems, spark plugs, and general things that go wrong.

Each session combines theory, demonstration and hands-on practice, so participants will leave feeling confident they can trouble-shoot potential problems, approach basic car maintenance themselves, cope with emergencies, and be better equipped to deal with the car industry and mechanics.

Participants will be able to ask questions, share experiences, and put their learning into practice in an intimate and supportive women-only environment.
