As many families take their vehicles on vacations this summer, Lakewood Chaveirim Volunteer Organization will be offering free car inspections – open to the public – this Sunday evening (July 26). The event will take place at the Yeshiva Orchos Chaim parking lot, at 410 Oberlin [corner of Cedarbridge Ave] from 5:00PM – 8:00PM.

YWN spoke with the founder of Lakewood Chaveirim who told us that many people have safety issues with their vehicles, and by getting a simple, few minute inspection may save them the heart-ace of breaking down on a highway. “An item as simple as having too much air in a tire can result in a blow-out after loading the car with your summer belongings”, he said.

Additionally, there will be two volunteer neighborhood mechanics on hand to advise folks how to proceed with any serious issues found.

More than 30 items will be checked on each vehicle – in under a few minutes, and brief instruction and safety tips will be given to each driver. For example, many people do not know where their spare-tire is located in many new minivans.

To reach Lakewood Chaveirim’s 24hr hotline please call 732-370-2229.

(NOTE: This is not a DMV inspection, but a safety inspection.)
