QUARTERLY EVENT: Ladies Night Out: 5:30 to 8:30 at Ace Body & Motor, 625 NE 45th Pl
Des Moines. An Automotive Crash course is a educational hands on class that clears up the murky waters of owning, insuring and maintaining a vehicle.

We understand that women may feel intimated about their vehicle maintenance and collision repair, and we want to end that. We provide a fun environment as well as valuable information that will empower women to discuss and ask questions about their vehicle repair and service. A well-maintained vehicle is safe and more dependable, and we don’t want women to compromise their safety because they fear the service and collision repair experience.

The class pulls back the curtain on the behind-the-scenes world of automotive service and collision repair. It covers everything from finding a reputable service and collision repair facility to how cars are inspected and estimates created. Contact: Christy Jones Email: classes@ladiesnightoutcrashcourse.com Phone: 515-278-4170 More Info: www.ladiesnightoutcrashcourse.com
