Calling all women – Have you ever wanted to learn how to fix your car without the help of a man? Nothing against the men out there, but there are times when it’s really important that women know how to check things out under the hood and perform some simple auto repairs.
Car maintenance and good driving are two of the most effective ways to extend the life of your car. While changing your oil, checking fluids and belts may sound intimidating; these tasks are fairly easy when you have proper guidance and instructions.
On tomorrow’s episode of Vehicle Vibes Radio, Marcia will be talking with Lori Johnson from Ladies, Start Your Engines, an automotive repair class that empowers women to perform their own automotive maintenance.
Lori will share tips on how to extend the life of your car with simple ways to maintain your car such as replacing your wiper blades, changing your oil and even changing a tire. This basic information may help you recognize potential problems and may save you money on large repairs.
With over 7 years of experience as a technician and service manager for a Honda dealership and an automotive repair instructor, Lori teaches women how to change a tire, replace wiper blades, understand the technical aspects of an engine and braking system and much more. Lori is also the former editor of Chilton automotive repair manuals and has prepared test preparation guides for the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence.
Understanding your vehicle and how to fix minor problems will not only save you money on smaller car repairs, but it will also make you a more informed consumer when it comes time to buy a new car.
So if you’ve ever wanted to learn a few easy car repair tips you can do yourself, be sure and catch this show.

Great information! I would be curious to know what will you do if you are disabled on the roadside? Who will fix the vehicle? How do you remain safe while repairing your vehicle? How do you protect your property while waiting 2 hours for your Roadside Assistance tow? What safety devices should you have inside your vehicle?
Please, I encourage you to take a look at NexTTyme LLC facebook page to view a very inexpensive product called “AlertUs”!
Most likely your light isn’t on because of a “glitch.” The vehicle monitoring system is extremely reliable and stable. Before your vehicle’s Engine Control Module (ECM a.k.a. primary computer) triggers the light, it monitors the suspect circuit for a set number of vehicle starts and stops to protect against false alarms.
