Under the Hood: Oil Change & Spill Prevention Workshop
October 17 @ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Learn real-world car care skills with local pros!
Join us for a free, hands-on workshop designed for young adults (ages 17–22). Participants will learn how to change their car’s oil safely, understand how to prevent spills, and discover how proper vehicle maintenance protects our local waterways.
Under the guidance of professional mechanics, each participant will get one-on-one support in small groups, practicing every step of an oil change—from draining old oil to refilling and checking levels. No prior experience required! All necessary supplies will be provided.
What to expect:
- Step-by-step oil change demonstration and hands-on practice
- Stormwater protection and spill prevention tips
- Free lunch and giveaways for all participants
- Certificate of completion
