Spring is blooming once again, and we look forward to the Naperville and Lisle Townships TRIAD Free Car Clinic Safety Clinic for Seniors, Saturday May 14, 2022 from 8:00 A.M. to 12:00 noon at Lisle Township, 4711 Indiana Ave, Lisle, IL 60532.

The safety clinic which provides a free 40-point safety inspection of vehicles driven by senior citizens (ages 50 and older). The event grows each year as the Triad organization’s outreach to seniors continues to expand.

Chicagoland MG Club (CMGC) member Jim Vondran coordinates the Triad car safety clinics each Spring and Autumn and really appreciates the enthusiastic participation of volunteers from the CMGC, the Chicago area Model T Clu, and the Windy City Miata Club.

Seniors are often subjected to unscrupulous mechanics who try to get the seniors to have unnecessary extra services. We rely heavily on the club members to evaluate the seniors’ vehicles and advise them as to what may or may not need attention. We began having the drivers remain in their vehicles throughout the process in 2021. This has proven to be a very successful method, as we found that many drivers were not aware of many common items, such as four-way flashers and why they may need them.

Vintage and antique cars will again be on display; most are vehicles owned by our volunteer “car guys” who help perform the inspections. .After their vehicles are inspected, seniors are welcome to park their cars and view the “classics and vintage” vehicles and have their pictures taken.

Please contact Jim directly at (630) 234-7102 to affirm your participation as team crew-member. Thanks to “car people” like the MG club members providing honest and worthwhile inspections, we do our part by ensuring are seniors are operating safe vehicles.
