A new video from the Car Care Council, entitled “Auto Care Goes a Long Way,” shows how vehicle owners can save money with some simple preventative maintenance.

 A little auto care can go a long way toward protecting your vehicle investment. Neglecting your vehicle can be very costly in the form of more expensive repairs and loss of resale value down the road. The Car Care Council’s new video highlights easy ways to keep your vehicle running efficiently and safely.

 Introduced for Fall Car Care Month in October, the new video illustrates how addressing certain items like brakes, tires, belts and hoses and fluids, including oil, antifreeze, steering, brake, transmission and wiper fluids, will help keep your car running smoothly and efficiently, saving money at the gas pump. Other areas of the vehicle, such as heating and air conditioning systems, wipers and lights, should also be checked periodically.

 Produced in conjunction with AutoNetTV Media (ANTV), the Car Care Council’s new video can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLETdH1foDI and is also available in the ANTV digital management system for repair shops to share with their customers.
