Cars 101 with Louis Gordon

All DIYD workshops have Pay What You Can ticket options.

If the Full Cost Ticket is financially comfortable for you, we ask that you purchase this ticket to help DIYD offset the costs of workshop expenses.

If the Full Cost Ticket is a stretch for you at this time, choose a lower cost ticket that suits your financial capacity. Choose the “Pay What You Can” option to purchase a ticket for as low as $1.

If you would like to make a donation to DIYD, choose the 125% cost ticket option or use the Pay What You Can option to make a donation of any amount. (And thank you!)

About the Cars 101 workshop:

Do It Yourself Darlin is VERY excited to offer a CARS 101 workshop again! Just like houses, cars can be a very intimidating topic to wrap your head around as a beginner, even when you drive one every day! In this workshop we will:

• Identify key parts of a car around the body, underneath the hood, and inside with vocabulary and definitions
• Discuss the fundamental mechanics of how a car works, and what red flags to look out for
• Discern what elements of car maintenance are DIY friendly and which are not
• Learn about fluids under the hood and how and when to replenish them
• Practice replacing a tire
• Discuss car safety and what to keep in your car in case of an emergency
