Free car-care clinic for women offered

By Billie Owens

A free car-care clinic for women will be held beginning at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 28 at Dan’s Tire and Auto, 48 Batavia City Centre in Batavia. The class is designed to better acquaint women with their vehicles’ and prepare them for emergency situations.

There will be hands-on demonstrations, including examples of broken and worn-out parts. The class will include explanations of warning lights, how to check the fluids under the hood, how to change a tire and what to do if an accident occurs.

A speaker from the YWCA Domestic Violence program will also be attending to help raise awareness in our community about this growing problem. Donations are welcomed and will go directly to the domestic violence prevention program.

“We found that many women have the same questions and concerns about their
vehicles,” said Dan DiLaura, owner of Dan’s Tire and Auto. “Our goal is to demystify automotive care while supporting a valuable community organization.”

Although the clinic is free, participants must register before April 26 by calling Dan’s Tire and Auto at 343-7210 or visiting the company’s Web site at www.danstire.com.
