Title

Auto Care 101: What’s That Warning Light About?

Description

You don't have to be an ASE Master Technician to understand many of the basics about these machines we use to get around in on a daily basis. What's that “check engine” light about? What's all this fuss over “synthetic”oil? Len will answer these and many other questions about our 4-wheeled wonders. Bring your questions and your sense of humor, but leave your torque wrenches at home. Let's talk basic auto care in a language we can all understand.

Presenter’s Bio

My career history includes automotive technician, auto repair shop owner and auto parts store manager. As a lifelong “gearhead” and auto enthusiast, together with my son, we have owned and repaired go karts, motorcycles and too many cars and trucks to count. To me, a day spent in the garage is like a vacation. As an award winning member of Toastmasters International, I am thrilled to be returning to your Mensa convention.

*Note: This program was offered last year and may or may not be offered again this year.
