AAA reminds us that this is National Car Care month. This happens in April and again in October. The reason they feel the need to spend money on advertising the importance of car care is because so many consumers don’t take care of their vehicles properly.

Neglect of this kind causes accidents, expensive breakdowns, pollution, and using more fuel than necessary. AAA hopes a gentle reminder twice yearly will prevent all this.

Here is a check list for safety, dependability and savings:

Have all fluids checked
Have air filter checked
Have battery and charging system checked
Have belts and hoses checked
Have oil and lubrication service
Have all lights checked
Have all wipers and fluid checked
Have tires checked for proper inflation and tread
Have suspension system checked
Have brake system checked

Many consumers feel a false sense of security today because they have cell phones and are able to call someone for help. Yes…this is great when you need help but as much as possible it is even better to avoid a break down or accident due to neglect. It is better not to pollute the air or use more gas than necessary.

If you have been putting off service or repair; call your car care provider today and not only will you be driving a safer, more eco-friendly vehicle, you will save money in the long run!
