Welcome back to Ladies Kar Care! Getting through the licensing stage is probably one of the hardest parts of your teen driving. But it’s not the only important stage, now it’s time to teach them good car maintenance. We cover the 3 tips you’ll need to keep your teen safe and your wallet from hurting! 

Tips We Cover: 

Your Greatest Tool: The Owner’s Manual

Dashboard lights, fluids, hood latch, brake pads, are just a few of the things your teen (and you) should be familiar with. Knowing the warning signals of your car can help keep it strong and healthy for a long time. This is a great place to open that dusty owner’s manual and see what your car has to offer. 

What Your Mechanic Needs From You

There’s a lot of information your mechanic needs before they can start working on your car. Learn how you can make a quick identification card to save your teen time and stress when heading to the mechanic. 

Creating Monthly Habits

This is one of my favorite tools! Part of teaching our kids how to drive is giving them new life skills to grow into a responsible adult. That’s why I’ve created a monthly maintenance checklist that will keep your teen on track and leave you with fewer unnecessary repairs. Saving you money in the long run! 

Teaching your teen responsibility doesn’t have to be hard, with these three tips you’ll live carfident and worry-free knowing your teen is prepared for any emergency.
