April is National Car Care Month

It’s time to make auto care one of your top priorities

     To the editor:

     Analytics are big these days in business, sports and politics. When it comes to auto care, the numbers tell a very revealing story as 80 percent of vehicles inspected at community car care events last year required service, a new part and/or repair.

     With so many vehicles in need of service, National Car Care Month in April serves as an important reminder to take action today so you can depend on your vehicle down the road. It’s easy to postpone vehicle maintenance when things get busy, but don’t put it off. Addressing minor service issues before they become major will help you avoid unexpected car trouble and unplanned costly repairs.

     Many maintenance needs are quick and inexpensive to resolve, so it’s easy to make auto care a priority during National Car Care Month. To help you, the non-profit Car Care Council has many free tools available at www.carcare.org, including the popular 80-page Car Care Guide and a customized service schedule that make it simple to follow a routine maintenance program.
