Before Your First Car: The Basics for All Drivers

Description

Ok, think about this: When you were of age to learn how to drive or get your first car, what car fundamentals did you learn? Did you pick up the information from a parent, the internet, and friends, or were you actually guided on how to be a responsible car owner? Or perhaps you still panic when the check engine light comes on, not quite knowing what to do. Today, instead of hoping that you or your teen will get it right, you can take a simple class that gives you that foundation.

Here’s what you’ll learn: 

• Owners manual overview
• Dash lights
• Car emergencies
• When should you tow your car instead of driving
• Car maintenance to do at home
• Car buying fundamental know-how (not a full car buying seminar, just covering some basics everyone should know)

What is the cost? 

Class is sliding scale $49 to $159 payable via PayPal. This is an effort to accommodate a range of budgets and needs.  For more information about the sliding scale model and suggestions for what you should pay, see the Frequently Asked Questions page.

I do have a scholarship fund for folks who can’t afford to take this class. Priority goes to people of color, trans people, and folks with disabilities. Apply for a scholarship here.

When and where will this class be held?

This class will be held via Zoom on June 16th at 8 pm EST. You’ll be able to ask questions live. The class, including Q&A, will be ~75 minutes long.

I can’t make the dates. Will it be recorded?

If you sign up for this class, you’ll have access to playback for 30 days. You’ll be able to watch and rewatch at your convenience, whether you make the live class or not.
