Take the Mystery Out of Car Care. 

Join Us for a FREE Live, Virtual Event to Learn the Basics of Vehicle Maintenance.

You pull into your garage and see a wisp of steam coming from under the hood. Or you drive on the highway and hear a strange noise coming from the front end of your vehicle. Is it nothing to worry about or a warning sign your vehicle may be headed for a breakdown? 

Girls Night at the Garage will teach you everything you need to know to help you become “car care savvy”. Throughout this virtual event, our technicians will be live in our garage facilities using actual vehicles to clearly explain featured topics. Even if you’ve never looked under the hood of your car, by the end of our course you should be able to perform simple maintenance on your vehicle and quickly identify potential problems. Learn the basics now and you can minimize, maybe even prevent, costly repairs later. And don’t forget, even brand new vehicles have problems.

Girls Night at the Garage is open to all AAA Members, nonmembers and AAA employees. Register FREE today!
