April is National Car Care Month, the ideal time for motorists to make sure their vehicles are operating at peak efficiency heading into the spring and summer. The Car Care Council reminds drivers to “be car care aware” and take proactive vehicle maintenance steps to ensure safety, reliability and fewer unexpected repairs.

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.

Car Care Council spokespersons are available for interview opportunities to discuss the importance of preventative vehicle maintenance and offer helpful tips so motorists are road ready for the upcoming summer travel season.
