Description

When embracing a cramped city lifestyle, most auto enthusiasts don’t have the required space and necessary tools to enjoy their hobby. As Gearhead owners Molly & Tim grew frustrated with their inability to perform even regular maintenance, they decided to create a unique space that would solve this problem. They spoke with fellow enthusiasts, meticulously planned for peak functionality, identified key resources, and then built an open-community garage to enhance the urban lifestyle of auto lovers.

The overriding goal in creating the garage was to forge a communal space where enthusiasts could share ideas, expertise, and resources to the benefit of all members. Embracing experienced mechanics, DIYers, and those just starting to learn how to service their vehicles, the space is built to provide everything one needs to continually learn and excel. Professional mechanics are on staff to help with projects and provide advice. Classes and tutorials help members advance their knowledge base. Special events and activities bring members together under the umbrella of a common passion.

From experienced gearheads who won’t let anyone else touch their car to beginners who don’t even know where to start, we’ll help you get the most out of your efforts.

  • Learn to Change Your Car’s Oil

    Anonymous review on 6/13/2023
    You learn more than just how to change the oil; you learn about parts and the why. It's a little overwhelming, but the actual oil change itself isn't too complicated. You don't learn about your car specifically, just the general process. Still, I feel confident that I can change my own oil now!

Review Summary by CourseHorse

Students at Gearhead Workspace have praised the classes for providing them with more than just the basic knowledge of how to change oil. They learn about the various parts involved and the reasoning behind each step, which can initially feel overwhelming. However, the actual oil change process itself is not too complicated. While the classes do not focus on specific car models, students feel confident in their ability to change their own oil after completing the course. Quotes: 1. "You learn more than just how to change the oil; you learn about parts and the why. It's a little overwhelming, but the actual oil change itself isn't too complicated." 2.
