Car Care & Roadside Safety Clinic
Ready for When the Unexpected Happens?
A flat tire. A dead battery. A warning light. A roadside breakdown.
Give your driver practical, hands-on skills to handle common roadside situations safely and confidently—even when you’re not there to help.
What Would You Do?
Knowing how to drive and knowing what to do when something goes wrong are two different skills. What happens when the car becomes the problem?
A flat tire, dead battery, unfamiliar warning light or unexpected breakdown can quickly become overwhelming—especially when a new driver experiences it alone for the first time.

The Car Care & Roadside Safety Clinic helps drivers understand what to do, what not to do, and when the safest decision is to call for help.
Learn it. Practice It.
Roadside situations are difficult to understand from a checklist or YouTube video alone. Learn how to practically and safely respond to car problems or roadside emergencies.
During the clinic, participants learn alongside an experienced Safety First instructor and get practical exposure to the situations drivers are most likely to encounter on the road.
By the end of the clinic, participants can:
Complete a basic pre-trip vehicle safety check and read dashboard warning lights
Check tire pressure/tread and change a flat tire
Safely use jumper cables or a jump pack
Assemble or evaluate a roadside emergency kit
Apply the Stop, Assess, Protect, Act framework to a breakdown, collision, or roadside stop
Apply the Stop, Assess, Protect, Act framework to a breakdown, collision, or roadside stop
Learn It. Practice It. Keep It with You.
Knowing what to do is easier when you have something to reference later.
Clinic participants receive a Road-Ready Glovebox Guide designed to stay in the vehicle and provide quick reminders when they’re needed most.
Inside the guide:
- Emergency-kit checklist
- Roadside breakdown steps
- Accident checklist
- Basic warning-light guidance
- Roadside safety reminders
- Important vehicle and emergency information
- QR links to helpful how-to resources
Learn the skills during the clinic. Keep the guide in your car. Have it when you need it.
