| Published April 27th, 2011 | Orinda Motors Offers Women's Car Care Clinic | Submitted by John Vanek | | | Orinda Motors, in partnership with the Orinda Women's Club, will co-host a community car clinic at 1:00 p.m. on May 14. The clinic will focus on education for women motorists, including car main-tenance, operation and becoming an informed consumer.
Join long-time Orinda Motors manager John Vanek as he discusses the responsibility that the car owner has in the operation and maintenance of a vehicle. Participants will learn how to find information in their owner's manual, keep track of their maintenance history, become more preventative in the care of their vehicle, and understand what maintenance should be performed at mileage milestones. There will also be an emphasis on how to achieve good communication with your car care provider. Hands-on demonstrations will help explain what worn components such as tires, belts, and filters look like and how they affect the reliability of your vehicle.
The clinic will last about two hours and includes time for questions and answers; refreshments will be provided. To sign up, go to www.orindamotors.com or visit Orinda Motors, at 63 Orinda Way, to fill out the registration form. The deadline for registration is Friday, May 13.
The clinic is free of charge but donations to Senior Helpline Services are encouraged - cash or a gas gift card will be accepted to help defray expenses for volunteer drivers (gift cards are available at Safeway for $25, or your nearby Chevron station in any denomination.)
