A free workshop on Mar. 4 in the Cowichan Valley will offer local women an insight into car care.
“It will be a fun and informative way to show you what to ask the garage and how to maintain your car in a safe and cost-effective way,” said Cowichan Auto Repair owner Elly Ruge.
She is a veteran of many gruelling car rallies through places like Mongolia, India and South America, a passion that has taught her some things about keeping a car running.
Elly’s service writer Natasha Smith has been a car “crackerjack” since she was a young girl and rebuilt her first car at 16.
The Women and Wheels Workshop starts at 2 p.m. Call 778-422-3100 to register.
