Learn to work on your car
The Auto Skills Center has new programs to help you learn to work on your car.

* Rent a Mechanic – Bring your car to the Auto Skills Center and rent a stall to put it in for $3. The stalls are warm and out of the weather, and you'll easily be able to work on it. Then, for just $15, you can rent a mechanic, who will help you with anything you want to do on your car, including giving you expert advice about other parts of your car that are related to what you're working on. A full tool crib is available to you as well.

* Self-Paced Video Learning – The Auto Skills Center now has a large TV, comfortable chairs and a wide selection of tapes and CDs to help you learn at your own pace about working on your car. The staff will help you to check out a tape or CD for free, and you can just pop it in the player, sit back and learn.

IF YOU’RE A CAR PERSON, WE’VE GOT A GREAT PLACE FOR YOU TO WORK ON YOUR CAR!
