Topics include:

• Understand your service needs for your type of driving;

• Oil, coolant and transmission services — when and why?

• Brakes, is that grinding noise normal?

• Important information before buying a new or used car

• How to handle emergencies and more.

Attendees can also get an oil analysis kit to use at their next oil service.
