Summer heat can make it easy to forget that autumn is just around the corner, but the Car Care Council wants to help repair shops turn over a new leaf at their businesses during Fall Car Care Month in October. Shops can order “Fall Car Care Month” bay banners and posters free of charge, while supplies last.

“Fall Car Care Month is an ideal time to grow your customer base, increase goodwill in the community and educate consumers on how proper vehicle maintenance will save them money in the long run,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “The print, radio and TV media will be buzzing about Fall Car Care Month and by displaying these banners and posters, businesses can benefit from the Car Care Council’s nationwide campaign.”

The large, sturdy “October is Fall Car Care Month” banners measure 94 inches by 34 inches and include the “Be Car Care Aware” logo. They are the perfect size to display across a bay or outside a business to draw attention and remind customers to have their vehicles checked after the wear and tear of summer, and before harsh winter weather sets in. Posters measure 24 inches by 36 inches.

Fall Car Care Month banners and posters may be ordered through the Car Care Council’s online catalog (http://marcomcentral.app.pti.com/burtonmayer/aaia/catalog.aspx?uigroup_id=10862). The cost of the banners and posters is covered by the Car Care Council.
