Packages
Teen does the work. Parts and fluids are extra — you buy them, or I bill at cost. Parent can watch.
Ninety minutes. Oil, filter, and a tire rotation. They crawl under, they drain it, they put it back. Next oil change they already know.
Oil, tire rotation, spare, and one-axle brakes. The three things that leave them stranded.
Leaving for school, a job, or a long drive? Core 3 (oil, tire rotation, spare, brakes), then rotors, then two extras they will actually hit.
* Parts and fluids are not included in the lesson price. You buy them ahead of time, or I bill them to you at exact cost.
Cars are the main lessons. I also teach basic maintenance on dirt bikes and four-wheelers — oil, chains, tires, filters, the stuff that keeps them running.
Need something that is not on this page? Message me and ask. If I can teach it on your machine, we will figure it out.
Oil
$85, about 90 minutes. Oil, filter, and a tire rotation. Find the filter and drain, put it back together without wrecking the pan, check the level, then rotate the tires. Next oil change, they already know.
Spare
Add $40 if we do it the same day as the oil lesson. If that is the only skill they need, it is $65 — message me. Jack, lug nuts, spare, put the car down without guessing. Floor to come out is $65.
Brakes
Brake pads on one axle (front or rear — two wheels), about 2 hours / $130 if booked on their own. That is a longer day than oil, so it is not priced as another $85 visit. Full Basics adds rotors plus two extras like head lights/tail lights, spark plugs / coil packs, fluids checks, or air/cabin filters.
Parts and fluids are extra. You can buy them, or I can bill at cost. For a first oil lesson, having the filter and oil on hand keeps the session moving.
Parent can watch. For younger teens, stay. For older teens, your call. I am there to teach, not to babysit a car in the street.
Theirs or mine. If you have a jack and basic sockets, great. If not, I bring what the job needs.
Kuna and surrounding areas, on your car. Born and raised here — I am not driving in from Boise for this. Prefer my shop? Bring the car and lets rock! (Not a drop-off service.)
