REGINA- Car care is a particular passion of Kelly Williams, a former race car driver. The instructor of a women’s only car clinic on Saturday, Williams is taking her knowledge from the tracks to the garage to empower women.
“Women actually care a lot about their car and it’s very important to them,” said Jacquie Stark from Avenue Garage. “It gets them around from point A to B then C to D.”
It’s an event for all – women learning how to drive, and those who have been driving for years.

Clinic participants said having a woman instructor allowed them to be more comfortable.
“Men use technical terms and sometimes show off, and women will feel talked down to on that level, ” said Juanita Gaber.
The clinic covered a variety of topics like how to check tire pressure, oil, air filters, and breaks.
“I had no idea when things needed to be changed,” said another clinic participant, Susan Moore.
“Let’s face it, vehicles still have issues, but if you’re proactive with your maintenance, you will have less issues and its going to be cheaper in the long haul as well,” said Williams.
And in an industry that’s male driven, these women can now say they know their car and be confident when talking about it.
