HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. – Regular vehicle inspection and repair will not only add years of life to a vehicle and maintain its safety, but can prevent the need for more costly and extensive repairs down the road. Yet, according to a recent study conducted by the Car Care Council, approximately 79 percent of vehicles on U.S. roads are in need of service or parts. To address this disconnect, Sears Auto Center is offering a free one-day car care clinic across its more than 700 auto service centers nationwide.
The clinics will take place on Saturday, April 12, when Sears Auto Center will have Automotive Service Excellence (ASE)-certified master technicians available to answer questions and perform demonstrations. The technicians also will provide a variety of automotive services on-site, including:
* Free battery and alignment checks
* Free visual brake and tire inspections
* Complete under hood and under car multipoint inspections
* Free wiper blades and tire rotations, with the purchase of a discounted conventional oil change*
“Vehicle maintenance is often pushed to the bottom of the to-do list – due mostly to time constraints, cost or a general lack of education about the necessity of the service,” said Norm Miller, president, Sears Automotive. “Our free car care clinics make it easier for our Shop Your Way members and customers to properly maintain a vehicle and potentially save thousands of dollars a year.”
Shop Your Way is Sears’ free, member-based shopping program and community that offers rewards, personalized deals, product reviews, member coupons and e-receipts for faster returns and exchanges.
In addition to the car care clinics, Sears Auto Center introduces the “Rules of the Road” education series – providing customers and Shop Your Way members with expert tips and deals that correspond with peak times that maintenance services are requested and completed.
