Womens Car Maintenance Event a Hit

On 25 November, over 35 women gathered to learn basic automotive maintenance skills in a collaboration between Zonta Timaru, South Canterbury Road Safety and South Canterbury Toyota. Attendees ranged in age from early teens through to women in their 80s.

Participants were divided into different groups which rotated through four different stations over the course of the evening learning about oils and fluids, maintenance of tyres, air filters, wiper blades, batteries, and keys. The workshop also covered new vehicle safety technologies.

Attendees left feeling empowered with the new skills learnt. A waiting list has been created with another 45 people expressing interest in this workshop in the future.
