Queen Creek, AZ -- (SBWIRE) --12/19/2011 -- Tempe, Ahwatukee, and Guadalupe Clients, Suntec Auto Glass - Your local Windshield Shop - is very pleased to honor 'Car Care Month'. Windshield Replacement and Auto Glass Repair is as important as any other upkeep on your automobile.
It can be intimidating enough driving on the roads and freeways without having to be concerned about breaking down in the middle of traffic or in an unsafe environment! Even though you feel you have the most reputable auto on the road, it doesn’t take much neglect to go from safe to sorry!
Regular car upkeep is essential – not only to your vehicle, but to your loved ones as well. More than five percent of vehicle accidents result from unperformed automobile maintenance; resulting in 2,600 deaths, 100,000 disabling injuries and a cost of more than $2 billion every year according to the Car Care Council.
A recent survey by the Car Care Council found:
38% of cars had low or dirty engine oil
28% had inadequate cooling protection
54% had low tire pressure
19% needed new belts
16% had dirty air filters
And don't forget - Proper windshield replacement and auto glass repair saves lives.
Leased cars are probably the easiest to preserve as they actually include indicator lights on the dashboard that tells you when it's time for maintenance. Any new auto purchased from a dealership includes the warranty and maintenance schedule; however, the dealership, and your local mechanic, will also send out reminders. For those used vehicles that might not come with a maintenance schedule, there are websites such as http://www.Edmunds.com which provide the appropriate information for just about every make and model vehicle.
critical components that are checked at every service interval include automatic transmission fluid, battery and cables, belts, engine air and oil filter, exhaust, fuel filter, hoses, power steering fluid and tire inflation and condition. These should be checked according to the following schedule:
Every three months or 3,000 miles
Every six months or 6,000 miles
Every 9 months or 9,000 miles
Every 12 months or 12,000 miles
In addition to the above, your vehicle should be checked monthly for lights, tire inflation, check engine light on and windshield washer fluid.
October is designated as Fall Car Care Month by the Car Care Council! This means that volunteer car specialists all across the country will help buyers prepare for the upcoming winter season and educate about proper car care safety. Subaru has announced their support of Fall Car Care Month.
