Do you really know what your mechanic is talking about when he describes a costly repair you must have? Are you familiar with when you should have regular maintenance checks done? Cars are an expensive investment—not just the initial cost but the bills you pay throughout its life. This course is for the average car owner who is unaware of what goes on beneath the hood. Through classroom lecture and demonstration in Chabot’s auto body lab, you’ll get an overview of major components and systems of your car, including the engine, fuel, electrical, drive train, brakes, and suspension systems. You’ll also learn basic preventative maintenance to keep your car running smoothly and save money. You can’t afford NOT to take this class. For ages 13 to adults. (Great class for new teenage drivers!)
