Order Car Care Guides For National Car Care Month In April

Car-Care-GuidesBETHESDA, Md. – The Car Care Council reminds shop owners, counterpersons and technicians to order the popular Car Care Guide in time for National Car Care Month in April. Available in English and Spanish, the recently redesigned Car Care Guide can be easily ordered by visiting the Car Care Council website at www.carcare.org/car-care-guide.

“With National Car Care Month right around the corner, now is the time to order copies of the new Car Care Guide,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “The guide is a valuable tool to use when discussing recommended maintenance and repairs with customers. Plus, it’s a great giveaway for customers to keep in their vehicles as a useful reference guide.”

The Car Care Council totally updated its Car Care Guide, adding 20 additional pages of new information to help motorists be car care aware by better understanding the when, why and how of caring for their vehicles.

The 80-page guide uses easy-to-understand everyday language rather than technical automotive jargon, fits easily in a glove box and covers the most common preventive maintenance occasions and procedures that should be performed to keep cars safe, dependable and efficient. It also includes descriptions of major vehicle systems and parts, and a list of questions to ask about maintenance or repair procedures. A car care checklist reminds motorists what vehicle systems need to be maintained and when service should be performed.

New sections include finding an automotive repair shop, alternative fuels, understanding the warranty, vehicle telematics, careers in the auto care industry and an expanded environmental awareness section. The new Car Care Guide was reviewed by industry experts with various backgrounds and areas of expertise and the information has been vetted by car care professionals.

This job isn’t needed as often as it used to be, but it’s still important.

The Purge Flushing & Filling the Coolant

If there’s any doubt to the importance of a coolant flush, let there be none. Simply put, engine coolant is a chemical. As it breaks down, it becomes increasingly acidic, leading to eventual corrosion on all the metal, plastic and rubber parts in the system.

The most misleading part is the color. Just because it may still look new doesn’t mean it acts that way. By the time coolant loses its nice hue and turns brown and rusty, it’s already years past what the service interval should have been, and it’s doing some serious damage to the cooling system. This is why it’s important to flush coolant at regular intervals.
