Club Mission

• To teach students how cars work, and how to take care of them.
• To teach good driving practices and techniques.
• To teach simple routine maintenance procedures and how to accomplish more complex repairs.
• To teach about the laws of the road.
• To teach students about recent advances in automotive technology.

Events & Topics

Most club meetings consist of a car repair shop session.  Repairs are performed on students’ cars or other donor cars.  Tire changes, brake changes, oil changes, tuneups are routinely completed.  Sometimes shocks, belts, or batteries are replaced.  Fluid checks, winterizing and other routine maintenance is accomplished. Students working on their own or donor cars, actually performing needed maintenance and repairs, learn from the hands-on experience.

 

Skills & Benefits

Students learn basic tool handling techniques, how their cars work, diagnostics and repair.   By participating in club shop sessions and  meetings, students gain competence in operation and maintenance of their cars.

Additional Resources

Many students bring their own cars, but this is not required. Students help each other learn and perform needed maintenance on donor cars too.
