Ready, Set, Read - DAY #1 of car care challenge

As with anything these days there is fine print for our 31 Day Car Care Challenge.
Taking a picture of yourself reading the whys and the whats of the challenge is the first challenge!

It's that simple.

31 Day Car Care Challenge- The fine print.
Why care?   
Dependability and Safety - Your vehicle is designed to work safely and maintain proper contact with the road to give you maximum control but if you don’t maintain your vehicle, you’re increasing your chance of breaking down on the side of the road or getting into a collision, both of which can have disastrous consequences.
​
Confidence - Knowledge is power. If you understand a little bit about what is going on with your your vehicle you will have the ability to ask better questions and better understand “mechanic speak”.

Save Money  - Are you spending more on your car than you should be?
Car Care saves Money - Though it may be hard to believe, investing in regular preventative maintenance can help save you money in the long run. Regular maintenance improves your fuel economy, allows you to drive your vehicle longer, and helps you extend the life of parts and avoid some repairs altogether.
Time is Money - Understanding and paying attention to your vehicle can help you identify and give good information to your mechanic. If there is a problem and you can provide the what, when and why of symptoms it will lessen the time it takes for the mechanic to diagnose the problem. Time is money in the shop, less time for us, less money for you.
