This is our second DIY/Tech day at Convenience who is hosting this event in their beautiful full service garage in Manassas with a dozen or so lifts. Convenience will provide 1 to 2 mechanics to demonstrate tune up procedures they typically perform on vehicles. Then members will be free to put their trucks on lifts and perform tune ups under the guidance of the Convenience staff. If members want to also perform fluid changes, this might be a good chance to do so.
Lifts will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis on the day of the event, giving priority to those who sign up first. PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.
Other projects may be done but ONLY with pre-approval. Please PM or email me with your project for review and discussion. You should have done your research as to what you are getting done, what the proceedures are, what special tools and parts you will need. Though others may be able to lend a hand once in a while, you should be ready to do the entire job on your own.
EVERYONE NEEDS TO BRING THEIR OWN TOOLS. If you need a specialty tool or forget a tool, the mechanics can provide those, but it is at their discretion since it is there personal tools. IF YOU REQUIRE CLUB Tools, Please let us know.
