This short course offers an ideal opportunity to learn about basic maintenance and servicing of your car, from changing a bulb to working on the brakes. We will provide you with an understanding of a range of jobs that can be achieved by yourself at home, thus enabling you to take advantage of the obvious benefits in terms of lowering garage bills. Many past students remark on the sense of empowerment acquired throughout the course, which gives an increased confidence not just in maintaining their own car but also in dealing with garages and MOT interactions. The course is flexible in structure and is also directed by the maintenance requirements of the group members. Please note that it is a requirement for learners to provide their own personal protective equipment for use in this class.
