Thank you for your interest in the BSRO Car Care Academy program. The safety of our customers, employees and the communities we serve is our top priority. Out of an abundance of caution and the need for social distancing due to the COVID-19 coronavirus situation, we are unable to schedule any Car Care Academies at this time. We will keep this page updated and resume the program as soon as it is safe to do so.
Firestone Complete Auto Care locations across the United States are available to conduct free, hands-on Car Care Academies for drivers like you.

The Car Care Academy for Youth meets many of the requirements for Girl Scouts of America and Boy Scouts of America merit badges.
Girl Scouts of America Car Care Badge
To earn the Car Care Badge, a Scout must complete five steps pertaining to: 1) basic maintenance; 2) vehicle safety; 3) safe driving; 4) emergencies; 5) environmental concerns. The Car Care Academy program satisfies the requirements of Step 1 and may be expanded to satisfy the requirements of Step 2 and/or Step 4.
Boy Scouts of America Automotive Maintenance Merit Badge
To earn the Automotive Maintenance Merit Badge, a Scout must complete 12 steps covering topics which include safety, general maintenance, basic systems knowledge, tire basics and more. Step 12 requires Scouts to explore career options in the automotive industry.
The Car Care Academy meets many of the merit badge requirements and the local Firestone Complete Auto Care presenter may, at the request of the Scout leader, expand the program to meet additional requirements.
