OCTOBER IS NATIONAL CAR CARE MONTH
October is National Car Care Month and it is a good time of year to give your car some extra attention. With the cold and freezing weather of winter soon to be upon us, you want to make sure your car is reliable and will give you trouble-free service. Neglecting vehicle maintenance now almost always mean higher costs down the line in the form of more extensive repairs or lowered vehicle resale value.
He recommends these 10 basic maintenance procedures to keep your vehicle operating at its best for the long haul:
1. Check all fluids, including engine oil, power steering, brake, and transmission, as well as windshield
washer solvent and antifreeze/coolant.
2. Check the hoses and belts to make sure they are not cracked, brittle, frayed, loose, or showing
signs of excessive wear.
3. Check the battery and replace if necessary. Make sure the connection is clean, tight and
corrosion-free.
4. Check the brake system annually and have the brake linings, rotors and drums inspected at
every other oil change.
5. Inspect the exhaust system for leaks, damage and broken supports or hangers if there is an
unusual noise. Exhaust leaks can be very dangerous and must be corrected without delay. 6. Schedule a tune-up to help the engine deliver the best balance of power and fuel economy
and produce the lowest level of emissions.
7. Check the heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system as proper heating and
cooling performance is critical for interior comfort and for safety reasons such as windshield

To show our appreciation, you can redeem this coupon and receive $10 off a AAA Battery. That’s right! AAA now offers a Battery Service Program which features the following benefits:
• Free, expert battery testing
• Quick battery installation, at your request • A high-quality AAA battery at a
members-only discount
• An unmatched 72-month limited warranty
(including 36 months free nationwide replacement against manufacturer's defects)
• Free recycling of your old battery
8. Inspect the steering and suspension system
annually, including shock absorbers, struts and chassis parts such as ball joints, tie rod ends and other related components.
9. Check the tires, including tire pressure and tread. Uneven wear indicates either an alignment issue or worn suspension parts. Also check for bulges and bald spots.
10. Check the wipers and lighting so that you
can see and be seen. Check that all interior and exterior lighting is working properly and replace worn wiper blades at least twice a year because of wear on the rubber edges from heat in summer and ice in winter. Remember, there is less daylight during the winter, so it is particularly important to check these two items.
I recommend checking your owner’s manual
for the vehicle manufacturers recommendations for your vehicle on what maintenance to be performed and when. Also, if you cannot do some of these items yourself or would like a professional to look at your vehicle, I recommend taking it to one of the many AAA Approved Auto Repair (AAR) facilities throughout the United States. They must pass extensive facility inspections and employ
ASE or manufacturer trained technicians. You can refer to the AAR directory in this magazine or go to AAA.com/automotiveaar, or send an e-mail to bwolfinger@aaanc.com.
Valid only for AAA Schuylkill County members. Offer expires 12/31/2020. To redeem this coupon, please call 570-622-4991.
