Women in the northern suburbs will have the chance to get hands-on car maintenance tips thanks to a free introductory workshop at Lalor library on March 24.
Participants will learn practical basics such as checking engine oil levels, replacing windshield wipers, and understanding the key components under the hood.
There are 25 spots available, with the workshop aiming to break down barriers and build confidence by teaching essential car care skills, in a safe and supportive environment.
The world of car maintenance has been a predominantly male field, so to have workshops running for women on car maintenance helps to break down gender stereotypes say organisers.
Understanding the basics of car maintenance is the key to feeling confident in diagnosing mechanical issues and organisers hope the workshop will help women to make informed decisions about repair and maintenance.
The session is designed for those with little to no mechanical knowledge, making it an ideal starting point for anyone wanting to feel more self-sufficient on the roads.
Organisers hope the workshop will help women feel more self- sufficient and less reliant on others for basic vehicle up-keep.
With only 21 spots left, those interested are encouraged to register quickly.
The session runs from 6pm to 8pm and is free.
