Lincoln-Way automotive students, under supervision of an auto shop teacher, will offer the following services:
• Check fluids – engine oil, trans fluid, brake fluid, coolant, power steering fluid and windshield washer fluid
• Check belts and hoses
• Inspect tires for tread wear, cracks and dry rot
• Inspect underside suspension and front end parts
• Load test batteries
• Check coolant strength for freeze protection
• Check headlights, turn signals, parking lamps and registration plate bulbs
Many seniors have a difficult time conducting their own vehicle inspections or don’t have the funds to pay for minor services. This is a great way to provide these services and a way for the Lincoln-Way auto shop students to help seniors in our community.
The New Lenox Safe Communities America Coalition and its Motor Vehicle / Traffic Safety Task Group would like to thank New Lenox NAPA for covering the costs of shop supplies that will be utilized during the 2-day event.
Appointments are needed! Seniors are asked to contact Daniel Martin, Safe Community Coordinator at the Village of New Lenox, to reserve an appointment. Email dmartin@newlenox.net or call (815) 462-6493.
