The upcoming clinic will teach teens and young drivers how to maintain their vehicle on a day-to-day basis and what to do in an emergency situation.

Teens and young drivers can take advantage of this free opportunity and enhance their overall knowledge of how to take care of their vehicle, plus all attendees will receive a take-home bag that includes oil change coupons, digital tire pressure gauges and other great gifts. Prize drawings will include an iPod and iTunes gift cards. The evening will also include light snacks and refreshments for attendees to enjoy.

“It’s really critical for teens and young drivers to have the confidence and know-how to feel comfortable behind the wheel of their vehicles,” said Anthony Blackman, owner of Atlantic Tire & Service. “We at Atlantic Tire are excited to present this opportunity to teen drivers because we know how important it is for teens to learn the basics early.”
