A Little Message From Torrie...

Imagine driving down a highway with lots of traffic, all of a sudden, steam starts flowing from the hood of your car and you start smelling something funky. Your car stalls and dies right in the middle of all that traffic. Your engine just blew up because you did not check your engine’s cooling hoses regularly to make sure they were not rotting, cracking or splitting.

This simple task, one that could avoid thousands of dollars in damage costs, is one that many teenagers do not think about or know to do. It is not only teenagers in general, but female teens. Many do not want to bother with having to check under the hood of their car and that is to their disadvantage.

A way to teach young female drivers that they need to regularly check under the hood of their car is to show them (hands-on experience) what to look for, where to look, and what can happen when you do not check. Showing females how easy and simple it is and how much damage just that one task can avoid, will make them more apt to check.

A great way to teach females about regular car maintenance is a video called “Basic Car Maintenance For Pretty Hands”. This video was produced from a female perspective. It teaches woman about basic preventative car maintenance and covers many different areas in depth, such as: how to inspect your tire’s condition and tire pressure, how to check your oil, antifreeze and transmission fluids; it also covers fueling safety and much more. Another thing this video covers is how to find a reputable mechanic that will not rip you off.

“Basic Car Maintenance For Pretty Hands” is a great teaching tool because it can be available to everyone anywhere and gives visual aids to help you see. The makers of “Basic Car Maintenance For Pretty Hands” provide a website that also gives handy information about car maintenance www.forprettyhands.com. All drivers need to realize the importance of basic car maintenance and what it can do to make your car safer to drive and save money on maintenance.

Thanks!
