About this Course

This one-day course will have you join NIC Automotive instructor Jaylene van der Merwe for an overview of vehicle systems, maintenance, and emergency procedures. Learn what the lights on your dash are indicating as well as how the systems in your vehicle operate including engines, transmission, brake systems, steering and suspension, cooling and lubrication. Practice checking fluids and tire pressures, deal with common maintenance items, and learn how to communicate with your local mechanic. Finally, discover what to do in emergencies such as a flat tire, and what to do when your vehicle breaks down or goes into “limp mode”. This hour and a half session will begin with information acquired over 15 years in the Automotive industry, and then provide time for some hands-on experience and finish with a question-and-answer period.
