  Take the guesswork out of caring for your vehicle. Designed for adults with little or no mechanical experience, this hands-on 30-hour course makes automotive maintenance approachable, practical, and useful from day one.

  • Basic Diagnostics: Read basic OBD-II Check Engine Light codes, visually inspect brake pads and rotors, identify common signs of wear, and understand when professional service is needed.
  • Repair Shop Confidence: Learn the terminology and questions that help you communicate clearly with automotive professionals, understand recommended repairs, and make informed decisions about your vehicle.
