RENO, Nev. – Motor on down to the Terry Lee Wells Nevada Discovery Museum (The Discovery) for a day filled with hands-on automotive themed activities for car enthusiasts of every age. Join experts from NAPA AutoCare Centers and get under the hood at The Discovery on April 2 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the inner workings of vehicles and the systems that make them go, turn and stop. Hands-on activities include an auto parts petting zoo, an air bag demonstration, exploration of horn circuitry, an auto “paint shop,” in addition to the opportunity to build a NAPA derby car, an introduction to basic car care and an exploration of hydraulic powder.
“The Discovery is thrilled to partner with regional NAPA Elite Member AutoCare Centers to provide mechanics – young and old – with hands-on experience with cars,” said Mat Sinclair, President/CEO of The Discovery. “Automobiles encompass speed, power and performance, all of which include elements of science and technology, making it a perfect fit for our museum.”
NAPA Car Care Day is presented with support from local NAPA Elite Member AutoCare Centers including A Master Mechanic, Allen’s Automotive, Arrow Automotive, Levrett Transmission, LT Automotive, Pro 1 Automotive, Roy Foster’s Automotive and Southgate Automotive.
Museum admission is free all day on April 2 for children and adults. For more information about NAPA Car Care Day visit nvdm.org/napa.
