Pascoe Vale Rotary Club, in partnership with the Rotary clubs of Moreland and Strathmore, runs two Basic Car Maintenance workshops: one for ages 16-24, and the other open age 18+.

The workshops aim to provide participants with basic skills and knowledge to maintain their car and to be aware of safety considerations. Under the guidance of our experienced and knowledgeable instructors, participants will learn:

  • Safe practices when maintaining your car
  • Basic engine maintenance such as checking fluids and topping up
  • Tyre maintenance and changing a tyre
  • Safety practices such as what to do if your car breaks down
  • Understanding your engine
  • … and more!

These workshops are a very handy resource for someone who has just received their L or P plates, or a parent/guardian wanting to help their young driver with safer driving and car maintenance.

Cost
$30 per participant for the youth workshop. A parent/carer is welcome to assist their child at no cost.

$35 per participant for the open age (18+) adult workshop.
