Dear students:
As part of the overall and superior
customer service provided provided by Unity College, consider taking
advantage of free vehicle check-outs today, April 28th, 1.00 - 4.30 pm in front of the Activities Building.
Is
your vehicle sustainable? Resilient? Adaptive? Or does it require
mechanical mitigation. Or are you just tired of the gratuitous misuse of
important terms in the sustainability debate?
Either
way, don’t miss the opportunity today to have it checked out thoroughly.
And don’t risk being stranded someplace remote, dangerous, or worst of
all, uncool!
Before you get in the olde jalopy and
drive off into the sunset for a long, hot El Nino summer (50-50 chance, right now), let the experienced mechanics and other
techy-geeky students of this year’s team of volunteers check the poor
beast out.
We will check your tire pressures and pump
them up if necessary, check and top off the oil and other fluids, clean
your windows (dirty windows are a major source of vehicular accidents),
and finally and perhaps most usefully, if your CHECK ENGINE light is on,
we will use our computer reader to “pull” your trouble codes so you can
finally know just what it is that your poor neglected automobile has
been trying to tell you all these months.
(Did you know
you can save lots of gas by keeping your car’s tires at the proper
pressures? And that tire pressure changes as the weather warms and cools
with the seasons, so you have to check them regularly! Did you know
that a blown oxygen sensor is easy to fix and can save on gas too? Did
you know that low oil level can kill your car’s engine? Well, now you
know.)
Each participant will receive a written report
on the serviceability of their vehicle, with details of any trouble
codes and what they mean.
The college accepts no
responsibility for the use or misuse of any of the information we give
you about your vehicle, or for your car’s safety after you leave the
campus, but we do suggest that it’s always better to know than not to
know. In most cases.
(Employees are welcome too. Thanks to the Maintenance and Student Affairs departments for aid in providing this service.)
Be safe, drive safe.
Mick Womersley
Professor
