EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) — A local auto body shop is giving women the tools they need to take charge of their cars and their safety.

Trubilt Collision Center opened its shop Tuesday to women in the community to teach them car safety.

The center says women make up a large percentage of their clientele, and they want to give them the tools they need in case of an emergency.

Tuesday, the center offered a free workshop specifically aimed at teaching women skills like defensive driving, what happens when an airbag is deployed and how to break a glass to escape from your vehicle.

“We focus on educating women in the Chippewa Valley and give them the tools and the resources to make sound decisions when it comes to their vehicle safety and repairs,” Amy Wolfe with Trubilt said.

Wolfe says they started holding the free classes with the goal of helping women know their cars better.
