Event description

Session 2 of Ladies Car Club Course

Have you ever wanted to fix your own car? Have you felt you couldn’t ask questions about basic mechanics? Well this is the workshop for you!

With no prior knowledge or experience necessary, this course will demystify car engines and general operation, and introduce the important tricks and tools of the mechanics trade to encourage women to be more proactive in learning about and fixing and maintaining their own cars.

Over four x 3hr sessions, participants will be guided through a number of practical issues to identify common problems, with solutions that can be applied to most cars, vans and trucks. These are issues that all car owners, or prospective drivers will face at some point in their driving life.

You have chosen to enrol in our second session.

Session 2 – Car ‘talk’ and Engine Basics

Includes; identifying car parts and vocab, overview of engine and transmission, recognising engine parts, electrics, clutch, brakes and suspension, cameras, troubleshooting sounds and symptoms

Participants will be able to ask questions, share experiences, and put their learning into practice in an intimate and supportive women-only environment.

Come join the Women’s Car Club!
