The workshop focuses on three key components: checking tyres, getting under the hood and being prepared for a dark, wet night.

“This workshop provides a friendly learning environment for our customers, encouraging you to ask question and gain knowledge from our qualified mechanics and experienced technicians,” says an Autoco spokesperson.

“This is your chance to meet like-minded members of the Canberra community.”

All about the tyres

“Tyres are the component that keep your car rolling and can drastically affects the safety and performance of your vehicle,” he says.

“In this workshop, the experienced Autoco technicians will teach you how to check your tyre pressures and treads, along with this you will have the opportunity to change a tyre. This is a great platform to ask any questions about your tyres.

What’s under the hood

“During this session, the team will walk you through the most common features and show you what to keep an eye on. While most vehicles can vary, this is your opportunity to practice checking the oil/water levels and understand what role your coolant plays.

Preparing for the worst-case scenario 

“Head, brake and tail lights are essential components for driving, especially at night time. This is where the Autoco team will show you the basics of buying and replacing these globes, saving you the heartache of an unwanted fine.

“During this session, you will also learn when and how to change your wiper blades for a rainy night.

“Our aim is that you’ll leave the workshop feeling more confident about driving and also about dealing with your mechanic.”
