October is Fall Car Care Month and a great opportunity to make sure that your vehicle is ready for winter, before it is too late. Taking time to check your vehicle is an important part of insuring your vehicle stays operational for years to come. It is as easy as regularly taking the time to check or have your mechanic check your vehicle.
"Small steps that motorists take today can go a long way toward improving the safety and reliability of their vehicles," said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. "Regular car care can also help avoid costly repairs down the road, saving both time and money."
Many simple tasks are able to be done at home including tire pressure, fluid levels, etc. It is also important to have a vehicle check up to be sure timing belts, heating system and your transmission are functioning properly.
Now is the perfect time to get your car ready for the winter months. By starting now to “winterize” your vehicle, you can spread out the expenses over the upcoming months and find time to get each issue properly assessed and taken care of.
