Cars 101! Please join us for a 3 hour class on getting to know the basics of modern cars or trucks. No experience necessary! This will be one of our Combo classes. Part of the class will be discussion and part will be hands-on service. Unlike our system specific classes, this class will briefly address all the major systems on your vehicle and some practical information you can use to better understand your car even if you have no experience at all. We put heavy emphasis on safety so please review our “Hows it work?” page to ensure you’re prepared. Some safety equipment will be provided. Besides whats listed below, part of the class will be dedicated to Q&A specific to your vehicle. Depending on class size and request, we may branch out on to different topics by request.
