Going on a roadtrip? Just drive a lot? In this 3-hour session, you will learn to:

• Patch a flat tire without removing it from the car.
• Jack up the car and install the spare tire.
• Jump-start a dead battery.
• Check the oil and other fluid levels, and understand their condition.
• Assemble an affordable little toolkit to accomplish all these tasks and more.
• Gain confidence in dealing with roadside emergencies, and understand when to call for help.

Everyone who drives a car should have these skills. Do you? If not, sign up for this class -- we might practice on your car! It's a very small session, capped at 6 students, so expect lots of individual hands-on time. Speaking of time, please plan to arrive a few minutes early so we can do waivers and start promptly at 1:00.

ABOUT MONEY:

We're going to use a few dollars worth of supplies (including making a scrap tire look like a pincushion), so the $5-per-student materials fee applies to everyone, i3 member or not. PLEASE BRING CASH. It's simply much easier to handle.

The "suggested donation" is in lieu of a class fee, and only applies to non-members. Just like the dues that members pay, this money goes to support i3's operations, including rent and utilities, equipment maintenance, and more.

Comparable-length classes at similar places cost $65 plus materials, but that's just silly. We'll appreciate whatever you find appropriate! Cash is great, or a check to "i3 detroit" works too. Thank you!
