Ever wondered what really goes on under the hood of your car? In this DIY workshop, we’ll cover the essential skills every driver should know to keep their vehicle safe, reliable, and on the road longer. Using my 2009 Honda Ridgeline as our test vehicle, you’ll learn how to check fluids, change a bad bulb, inspect wiper blades, inflate tires, and understand the maintenance schedule straight from the owner’s manual. Along the way, we’ll share practical tips for communicating with mechanics so you feel confident whether you’re doing the job yourself or taking your car to the shop. No prior experience required—just bring your curiosity and be ready to get a little grease on your hands!
This class is perfect for new drivers who want to build confidence, car owners looking to save money on upkeep, and anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed at the auto shop counter. Whether you’re a student, commuter, or weekend road tripper, you’ll leave empowered to take better care of your vehicle.
