I’m assuming you do not want to be in a situation like the lady on the left…car broken down on the highway, waiting for that expensive tow truck to come haul your vehicle away. If my assumption is correct, then get in the groove with Fall Car Care Month and show your used card some love.

Used cars can be extremely cost-effective for millions of Americans. With that said, if you own or are thinking of buying a used car, you should definitely try to keep up with proper maintenance. Now, I understand that maintaining your car is probably pretty far down your list of “to do” items, but there isn’t much that’s more important if you want to avoid those unfortunate situations like the one shown to the left. Hopefully Vinart can make servicing your car easier for you with the introduction of our Service & Repair Series.

This month we are focusing on overheating. We have posted two informative articles focused on preventing your car from overheating and what you can do if your car does overheat. Check out the articles and let us know what you think. If you have any other tips for reducing the chance of having your car overheat, please share them with us via the comments section of the blog. This way other people can learn from your knowledge. Take some time to read these posts as they may save you from the situation above:

• Keeping Your Used Cars from Overheating
• Discussing Overheating in Your Used Cars

If your car does breakdown, you can certainly call the Vinart Body Shop to receive an honest estimate for your repairs. Our commitment to timely, high quality auto repair has earned the respect of our customers. Not many businesses say this, but we actually hope we don’t hear from you, as that means your car is performing well. But if you need us, we are here.

“Small steps that motorists take today can go a long way toward improving the safety and reliability of their [used cars],” said Rich White, the executive director of the Car Care Council. “Regular car care can also help avoid costly repairs down the road, saving both time and money.”

To celebrate Fall Car Care Month, hundreds of shops across the nation are offering free checkups for your used cars. You can find one of these shops near you by visiting the Car Care Council’s Web site. You can also visit the website to get more information about recommended service schedules for your used cars and find loads of other information that will help you care for your used vehicles.

Take some extra time this month to care for your used cars before the winter weather arrives. You’ll be glad you did!
