The Columbia Area Career Center (CACC), with Big O Tires, is offering a free car maintenance class for women on two dates this fall. The class filled quickly last spring, so if you are interested, we recommend registering as soon as possible. If you know someone who would be interested, pass this on. From the CACC catalog:

Knowledge is Power! Basic Car Maintenance for Women
Instructor: Melanie Coates
This class is directed toward women who would like to learn Basic Car Maintenance, avoid expensive repairs, how to talk to your mechanic, and how to recognize problems with your car before they become big ones. Taking care of one of your most expensive purchases is getting trickier all the time. Let us guide you through with some basic tips. Handouts, goodie bags, and refreshments are available for all participants! For more information go to http://www.acdelco.com/auto-seminar/knowledge-is-power/. Special thanks so our partner in education- BIG O TIRES! (2.5 Hours). Instructor: Melanie Coates.
