Just because Fall Car Care Month in October has come to an end, it doesn’t mean you can’t still participate in the “Be Car Care Aware” campaign! Here are things you can do:
 
• Don’t forget to send your inspection forms to the Car Care Council. The yellow page of the triplicate inspection form for fall events should be submitted by Dec. 1. It is very important to submit forms to the Car Care Council as the data is then compiled, summarized and distributed in our annual car care statistics. Please return forms to: Marcella Tilli, Car Care Council, 7101 Wisconsin Ave., Suite 1300, Bethesda, MD 20814. As a thank you for submitting your forms, you’ll receive a “Certificate of Participation” to proudly display in your business.
 
• Encourage your customers to get ready for the winter driving season! The Car Care Council has tips for winter driving, with press releases for consumers about winterizing your vehicle; keeping well-maintained lights and wipers; and replacing your vehicle’s belts and hoses.

• Check out the free digital Car Care Guide. It’s a great reference to help maintain your vehicle and extend its life.
 
• Start thinking about your next vehicle inspection event. It is never too early to start planning for National Car Care Month in April!

The Car Care Council is the source of information for the “Be Car Care Aware” consumer education campaign promoting the benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance and repair to consumers.
