Expand Summer Repair Business with “Be Car Care Aware” Point-of-Sale Starter Kits

The Car Care Council’s “Be Car Care Aware” point-of-sale starter kits provide the tools to help repair shops and part stores remind motorists to maintain their vehicles for the summer vacation season. Now, the “Be Car Care Aware” starter kits can be ordered online.

BETHESDA, MD — The Car Care Council’s “Be Car Care Aware” point-of-sale starter kits provide the tools to help repair shops and part stores remind motorists to maintain their vehicles for the summer vacation season. Now, the “Be Car Care Aware” starter kits can be ordered online.

“Now that the summer travel season is upon us, there’s no better way to help increase traffic to your business than by using the starter kit marketing and promotional materials to offer pre-vacation vehicle checkups,” said Rich White, executive director of the Car Care Council.

The kit features “Be Car Care Aware” signage, consumer education materials and the industry’s first comprehensive Service Interval Schedule. The schedule helps consumers track regular vehicle servicing by taking the guesswork out of what vehicle systems need to be routinely inspected and when service or repair should be performed.

As a bonus, shops and stores that purchase the kits will be included in the “Find A Shop” and “Find A Store” locators on the carcar.org Web site, which receives more than 100,000 hits each month. The kit also includes National Car Care Month materials that can be used in April.

To view the contents and order a starter kit, visit the Car Care Council’s Web site: www.carcare.org.

ATA Asks Congress for Realistic Emissions Timeline

ATA warns Americans will feel the trucking and supply chain impacts if the U.S. uses California’s timelines and targets.

Yesterday, American Trucking Associations President and CEO Chris Spear told Congress that the industry needed realistic national timelines and targets to reduce emissions, rather than allowing California and other states to drive standards.

"The trucking industry starts with 'yes,' Spear testified before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. "ATA worked with the Environmental Protection Agency, producing Phases I and II emission reduction rules, as well as the SmartWay Transport Partnership – which has been a model of public-private cooperation. To date, 98.5% of all emissions have been removed from our tailpipes. In fact, 60 trucks today emit what one truck emitted in 1988."
