If there was ever a time to show love and appreciation, for
your car, it’s during the month of February.

winter, which can be an unforgiving season for unprepared drivers.
The engine cooling system in your vehicle circulates antifreeze through the engine and radiator. The antifreeze is formulated to prevent corrosion inside the cooling system and helps to maintain optimal engine operating temperature regardless of outside conditions. Replacing the antifreeze at regular intervals can help prevent overheating, freezing and premature cooling-system corrosion.
Vehicle maintenance is easy to neglect. Daily life gets busy and time seems to fly. By the time you know it, it’s been 5 months since your vehicle has seen any maintenance. If you struggle to keep up with your regular maintenance schedule, you are not alone. In a recent study done by the Car Care Council, 84 percent of vehicles on the road are in the need of service or parts.
We all know that person that has had the same car for 20 years and it just keeps chugging along. Well, what’s the secret? Why do some cars seemingly last forever while others can barely make it a few years? The answer is simple: regular, preventative maintenance. There are no miracle cures, just dedication to keeping your vehicle clean and lubricated. There is no time off from maintenance.
Fall Car Care Month is a great reminder to make sure that your vehicle is ready for winter and up-to-date on all maintenance and repair items.
Small steps that you take today can go a long way toward improving the safety and reliability of your vehicle. Regular car care can also help avoid costly repairs down the road, saving you both time and money.
