HomeTowne Auto Repair - Women's Car Care Clinic - Potomac Local - Woodbridge, VAAn upcoming car care clinic in Woodbridge is designed to make women feel more empowered when it comes to caring for their cars.

The clinic will be held at HomeTowne Auto Repair & Tire on U.S. 1 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 1.

Johnson is also a member of the American Business Women's Association and has seven years experience working at a Honda dealership as a service manager.
