Course Overview:
Ever broken down on the side of the road and had no clue what to do next?
Whether it's a flat battery, warning lights, or a mysterious rattle – this hands-on course is designed to empower you with real-world automotive know-how.
​
We operate around Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. Delivered by experienced professionals from Vinspection, this course will guide you through the essential steps to take during a vehicle breakdown and help you identify common car faults.
How it works
Owner speaking: "Its very bread and butter, we come to you with our tools, explain 6 key points of why you may breakdown and how to prevent this from happening. We show you the practical side of things on your car such as changing a tyre to replacing a battery, dash lights, overheating and more, and the best part is you get to have a go too while we watch and guide you. We provide PPE such as gloves and we will always check if any procedure is safe to carry out and if your are happy before trying yourself. Its not pass or fail and we do not judge or assess your ability and there is no certificate. We are very laid back and believe its such a beneficial life skill to learn. You will save a lot of money and have the knowledge to get you by when the tide hits.
​
No matter your age, background, ethnicity, maybe you have learning disabilities we are here to help. The course is set up so we teach you enough until your combatable, you can repeat and ask as many questions as you like. We will go through what we think you need to know and also email you our Events of Breakdown documents which essentially are a refresher for the topics covered.
​
The course will take roughly 3 hrs of your day, we try to make sure its a dry for us and yourself. The only thing we may ask is does your kettle work?"
