Calling Anyone Who'd Like to At Least Be Able to Change Their Own Tire!

I know - none of us are dying to kneel down in the rain or snow and change our tires. That's what BCAA is for. But last year I found myself mid-way on the Mary Hill By-Pass with a completely flat and steaming tire, I pulled over into two feet of slushy snow and with less than a full bar of power on my iPhone called BCAA hoping I could buy a membership on the spot and have someone come out and change my tire. Three hours later I was back on the road after a charming BCAA employee got me all fixed up.

But this begs the question, what if my iPhone had died? What if I couldn't wait 3 hours? I suppose I could have figured out how to change that tire - but how safe would it have been?

I knew how to check the oil on my old 88 Mazda 323 wagon - fifteen years ago - but these new cars look way more complicated under the hood - would I know how to now?

I don't think I'm alone in this serious lack of knowledge. The difference is I now have the resources to address it.

If you would be interested in attending a couple of hour - "How Does My Car Work" class for minimal cost (probably $20 to cover costs) let me know. Either leave a comment or email me at amanda@winstonautogroup.com.

Happy Driving!
