To The Editor:
A free car winterization check was recently offered to seniors ages 50 and older. It was held at the Oak Ridge Senior Center on Saturday, Nov. 16.
I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to all the sponsors for holding this event. On that chilly, rainy day, we waited at tables inside the warm and cheery Senior Center and were treated to coffee, juice, donuts, and sweet rolls supplied by Food City, Kroger, and Walmart.
The other sponsors were the City of Oak Ridge, Details Auto Care, Eddie Hair Tire and Auto Center, Fisher Auto Parts, People’s Choice Auto, Chuck’s Car Care, O’Reilly’s Auto Care, Advance Auto Parts, and Auto Zone. Technicians checked everything ranging from oil and other fluid levels to the condition of windshield wipers.
After our cars were checked, we were handed back our car keys along with a checklist and explanation indicating any problems that were found.
Kudos to all the sponsors! It feels wonderful to know our cars are or will be up to facing winter.
