Lefler's Ladies Night Class


I attended Lefler‘s Ladies Night Class at their location on Maxwell Avenue in Evansville, Indiana and I must say, it was a great experience.  The class is very organized with useful and practical information, great food and other area business participation. 

Since 1952, the Lefler family has built a wonderful reputation in the community.  They maintain 4 Lefler Collision locations in Evansville and Newburgh while staying involved with community and charitable organizations and events. Lefler’s specializes in collision and glass repair, mechanical repair and diagnostics but for the Ladies Night Class they specialize in information.

Attendance Gifts
Upon arrival you register at the office and are given a gift bag with great goodies and discounts from the participating businesses. In the next room there are tables with information available from local groups and businesses, including a t-shirt to commemorate the event.  There was a chiropractor performing small adjustments and providing information and a representative from Susan G Komen was available with information on breast cancer.
Walker Studio Artistic Photography also had a table with some of their beautiful portraits displayed.  An Arbonne representative was there with their newest products and samples.  Regis Salon had stylists on site performing eyebrow waxing while providing shampoo samples and discount coupons to the attendees.  Also in attendance were candle and jewelry vendors. j.Gumbo’s Cajun joint, located at Vogel and Burkhardt catered the class with delicious Cajun foods, including bumblebee stew and drunken chicken.  

Ed Dietz and Jimmy Lefler did a wonderful job of providing information on auto repair during the first part of the class. Automobiles are getting more technical and it’s harder to provide any kind of maintenance on your own. Having professionals go over what you can do, answer questions and explain how to work with any professionals you use for maintenance and repair was very helpful. They were able to explain things like tire pressure and checking fluids in a way that made sense while keeping it interesting and entertaining.

The second portion of the class involved logical information on accidents but were things that could be forgotten during the stress of an accident. To help you remember what to do they provided everyone with an Auto Accident Kit.  One of the most interesting parts of the collision portion was what to expect if the accident causes the airbag to deploy. It’s something that would be hard to imagine unless you experience it. They actually deployed an airbag from a steering wheel and one curtain airbag.  It was loud, really loud and followed by an unpleasant smelling smoke.  Personally, I didn’t expect either of those things and was glad to find out without having to be involved in an accident. 

The night ended with attendance prize drawings for items donated by the business’ in attendance plus Papa John’s Pizza and Altstadt Plumbing Service. Overall, Lefler’s Ladies Night Class is a great opportunity for women to learn more about car maintenance and what to do in the event of an accident.
