On August 10th, 2024, Wilmes Chevrolet GMC generously hosted a practical and educational student member workshop titled "Don’t Get Caught Stranded" at their Altus location. This event was a fantastic opportunity for local students to gain essential hands-on car maintenance skills that will prepare them for the road and beyond.

The workshop focused on empowering students with the knowledge and confidence to handle common vehicle issues, such as:

• Checking oil levels and understanding engine maintenance
• Jump-starting a vehicle using jumper cables

The team at Wilmes Chevrolet GMC, led by Kirk Wilmes and Mike Elkins, provided expert guidance, ensuring students could practice these skills firsthand.
