This class is geared toward teenage drivers, but can be taken by anyone wanting to gain a greater understanding of their car and basic troubleshooting. I will be teaching you to identify common problems. This class will be taught at my shop, but we will be outside and around cars. Please wear clothing that can get dirty and that is appropriate for the temperature. Students are to bring their car, as it will be a “hands on” training. It would be helpful if you can bring your owner’s manual with you.
The cost of this class is $75.00 per student. The class will be approximately 2 hours. Class size is 3-4 students per session. Payment is due on the day of the class. Checks are to be made payable to Merriam Automotive. Cash or Credit Card (Visa or Mastercard only – debit or credit) accepted.
