October is Fall Car Care Month, the perfect opportunity for motorists to make sure their vehicles are ready when severe winter weather strikes. The Car Care Council reminds drivers to “be car care aware” and take proactive vehicle maintenance steps while temperatures are still mild to ensure safety, reliability and fewer unexpected repairs when the temperature drops.

The Car Care Council’s website provides a wealth of auto care information for consumers, and features a free customized service schedule and e-mail reminder service. In addition, vehicle owners can order a printed copy of the Car Care Council’s popular 80-page Car Care Guide at no charge.
