Car Care Basics – Not So Spooky

Yes, Halloween is everyone’s favorite scary time of year.  But vehicle owners don’t need to get all spooked out about basic car care. The non-profit Car Care Council recommends motorists follow a preventative vehicle maintenance plan to help take away the fear of unexpected breakdowns and frightening repair costs.

“Getting an oil change should never be scary; having wipers replaced should not be horrifying; and asking a professional automotive technician questions should not make someone shake in fear,” ~ Rich White ~ Executive Director ~ Car Care Council


Take the fear out of auto care with a quick visit to www.carcare.org where you’ll find free online tools to help.

  1. Custom service schedule & email reminder service – can help you be more responsible and remember to include auto care in their busy schedules. This easy-to-use resource is free-of-charge and can be personalized to help make auto care more convenient and economical. The council also has a general service schedule that can be printed and followed. Drivers should be sure to consult their vehicle owner’s manual for specific recommendations by the carmaker.
  2. Car Care Guide – Order a free copy … in English or Spanish.  It’s a popular guide that uses easy-to-understand language and includes descriptions of major vehicle systems, questions to ask a professional technician, and a checklist to remind drivers what vehicle systems need to be maintained and when service or repair should be performed. Special sections on fuel economy and environmental awareness show drivers how to get better gas mileage and make their vehicle more environmentally friendly.

The above video “Auto Service and Repair: What to Expect”  can help you become more comfortable with the auto service and repair process, providing valuable information on such topics as finding the right auto repair facility, what to expect at the shop and what questions to ask. The video also covers the real truth about consumer rights and the manufacturer’s warranty.
