Basic Car Maintenance Classes in Ringwood

[cv01jw]

I have enrolled on a series of classses based at a garage in Ringwood and wondered if anyone else on here had any experience of them or similar classes?

I really want to have a go at looking after my own car but never quite pluck up the courage to actually do something, because I need my car for work and think (know) I will end up breaking it. Hopefully this course will give me the confidence to try things like oil changes, brake pad/disc replacement etc.

Can you let me know the details of this course as I have been looking for the same thing.

And me..

Martin, can you imagine the faces when we turn up in our cars.

[MarkwG]

Can you say which garage it is?

[sunoco69]

Is this through Brookenhurst College. Remeber seeing something a while back for there, but hosted at a garage in Ringwood

If it's the same one, HDM Autos on Carvers Ind estate: used them in the past, good guys.

Yeah it would be funny. Imagine all the free work we would get. Lol
Would be good to do it together but not sure if it's to far

OP, any more details

It is through Brockenhurst College, held at HDM Autos in Ringwood. They only run a few courses a year and the next one starts on 15th June - they will probably have places left as until this week I was waiting for confirmation they were running it due to low numbers.

You need to contact the Ringwood Adult Learning office on 01425 472224 , or go the the college website and search for basic car maintenance.

From the College website

Basic car maintenance.
Covers MOT inspection and repairs.
Fault finding.

So not as indepth as I would like but useful I think as a starting point.

I cant do the June 15th one as it is on Friday evenings and I will be away for 3 out of the 5 nights.

Going to go for the August one I think.
