AAA to Host “Girls’ Night at the Garage” Car Care Event in White Marsh on Tuesday; RSVP Today

As Part of October Car Care Month, AAA is Offering FREE Educational Events to Encourage Car Care in Advance of Winter Driving

BALTIMORE, MD (October 9, 2026) – Do you know how to check your car’s oil? Could you change a flat tire or the engine air filter? With the harsh winter driving season just around the corner, AAA is hosting “Girls’ Night at the Garage” car care events – a fun, educational evening during which a trusted mechanic will take the mystery out of vehicle maintenance and show simple do-it-yourself car care techniques.

According to S&P Global Mobility, the average age of vehicles on U.S. roadways is 12.8 years, and that aging trend is expected to continue. Previous AAA research indicates that vehicles 10 years older are twice as likely to break down and four times more likely to encounter a problem serious enough to require a tow. This is especially important with winter and colder weather approaching.. With that in mind, AAA is underscoring the need for basic vehicle maintenance and offering ‘Girls Night at the Garage’ events to help educate consumers in a safe, fun environment.

Tuesday, October 13, 2026; 6:30-8:30 p.m.
