In celebration of October Fall Car Care Month, the council sponsored the event, which was held in the parking lot of H.H. Dow High School and provided free vehicle check-ups for consumers by professional automotive technicians from Belle Tire and automotive technology students from Delta Community College. Teams inspected 41 different items on each vehicle including lights, fluid levels, belts, hoses, tires, filters, battery and other systems and components.

A number of booths set up along the vehicle check-up event lanes featured educational and product demonstrations. The Midland Police department was on-hand to inspect and teach proper child safety seat installation, while Northwood University student volunteers assisted with consumer orientations, gift bag giveaways and other activities.

Aftermarket companies who sponsored the event include Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance, Delphi, Federal-Mogul, MAHLE Original Filters, Motown Automotive, PlastiKote, SKF, Standard Motor Products, Tenneco, Trico, Four Seasons, Raybestos Brake & Chassis, Advics, Beck/Arnley, Mitchell 1, Schaeffler Group USA and Anderson’s Service Centers.
