As many families take their vehicles on vacations this summer,�the Chaveirim Volunteer Organization, along with the Lakewood Civilian Safety Watch will be offering free car inspections – open to the public – this evening in Lakewood, NJ.The event will take place at the Yeshiva Orchos Chaim parking lot, at 410 Oberlin [corner of Cedarbridge Ave]�from 6:00PM – 9:00PM.
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 four 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.)

What a chesed !!!… I am so moved by this action to prevent a yid from (Hasve Shalom) being stuck out in the road in no-where land that I�ll be sending a check to them. And, I hope you join me in this great mitzvah of prevention of sakana�..
Wow! Kol Hakavod. Simple but brilliant idea to save much agmas nefesh and possibly dangerous situations. Way to go!
This is a fantastic idea and chesed. I sincerely want to say a very important follow-up would be reminding drivers to apply defensive driving techniques along with reviewing driver education behind-the-wheel techniques we all were taught in driving classes. A safe car is only as good as a safe driver. Again, I mean this sincerely as too many dangerous driving situations happen in Lakewood due to careless driving.
