My name is Shaunna, I am offering Teens and Adults instruction on how to inspect and perform maintenance on your vehicle. The goal is to minimize the chances of your car breaking down on the highway where it costs around $500 for towing, and two or more hours of frustration. With new car prices averaging $40,000, it’s critical to the safety and longevity of the vehicle to maintain it properly. Below I have lesson categories and the approximate dealership costs of performing those services that you can easily perform yourself. Over time you can save thousands of dollars in inspections, routine maintenance, and potentially major component failures that can be caused by improper maintenance.
The services that I offer can be performed in my garage, or I can travel to you for a small fee. No repairs of failed components, or any fluid
changes will be performed by me during my visit. My services are for instructional purposes only, so that you can perform the work yourself.
