Auto Literacy for Life

Our daily lives rely on reliable vehicles, yet many people never learn the basics of how cars work. Without that knowledge, car maintenance can feel intimidating, stressful, and expensive. Becoming an informed car owner allows you to stay ahead of problems, make smart repair decisions, and save both time and money.

This course provides a clear, hands-on introduction to car ownership and maintenance. Whether you’re mechanically inclined or have never worked on a car, we’ll guide you from the basics—starting with car anatomy and moving through key systems that make your car stop and go. You’ll learn to spot common issues and perform simple inspections, beginning in the classroom and then exploring a vehicle on the lift together.
