CCC Offers Consumer Guides for Fall Car Care Month

BETHESDA, MD -(Aug. 14, 2006) - The Car Care Council (CCC) reminds aftermarket companies and organizations that Fall Car Care Month is October, and the organization's new "Car Care Guide" is an ideal customer education tool for a shop's Car Care Month activities. To be assured delivery of large quantities of the guide by October, shops should place their orders before Sept. 1, 2006. Orders can be made online at www.carcare.org and clicking on the "Car Care Guide" banner on the home page.

"This easy-to-follow guide is a valuable tool for shop owners, counterpersons and technicians to use when discussing recommended maintenance and repair with customers," said Rich White, executive director of the Car Care Council. "With Fall Car Care Month right around the corner, now is the time to order Car Care Guides for your customers."

The 56-page guide fits easily in a glove box and explains the nine most common preventative maintenance procedures and repairs that need to be performed to keep cars operating safely and reliably, while maintaining their long-term value. It also includes a list of questions to ask when these maintenance or repair procedures are being performed on a car. 

To further familiarize motorists with their vehicles, the guide has clear, concise descriptions of 12 major vehicle systems and parts. A Car Care Checklist reminds motorists what vehicle systems need to be maintained and when service or repair should be performed.
