The Why’s and When’s of Car Maintenance
Price range: $59.00 through $159.00
September 14 – 15th
If you’ve ever wondered why — and when — specific car maintenance tasks are necessary, this is the course for you. In “The Why’s and When’s of Car Maintenance,” we will go over everything from how often you actually need to change your oil to what power steering fluid even does in your car (and why it has to be changed). Everything will be explained in easy-to-understand language: not mechanic talk!
Description
I tend to get asked a lot of the same questions over and over again, and by far, two of the ones that I hear most frequently are: “When do I need to do ____ to my car?” and “Why do I have to replace ____?” This class will answer all your questions about preventative car maintenance, empowering you as a more educated car owner to better protect your investment.
Day 1:
- How do you know when to do maintenance?
- Which dash lights are maintenance-related?
- Oil changes – how often, what type of oil
- Coolant – why and how often
- Power steering fluid – why and how often
- Filter (Cabin and Air ) – What they do and when they need to be changed
Day 2:
- Tires – how often to rotate, tire pressure, and more
- Alignments – What is it, how often, what are the benefits
- Air Conditioning recharges – What does this even do? How often?
- Drive Belts – what the belt does and how often it should be changed
- Timing Belts – What this belt does, and how often it needs to be changed
- Five Websites every car owner should know and use
A 15-minute Q&A will be held at the end of each class period.
