"National Car Care Month" Press Kit

The 1996 National Car Care Month Press Kit, produced by the Car Care Council, is available now. National Car Care Month is a nationwide effort by businesses, civic groups, the government and the media to focus motorists' attention on the need to maintain and repair their cars. Although events are held throughout the year, October is an ideal time for motorists to get their cars ready before winter strikes. You can download the official Press Kit in PDF format from our Tips department.

HOT LINK

The Automotive Service Association (ASA) has launched a new site dedicated to assisting consumers and automotive service professionals. ASA is an international organization made up of approximately 12,000 member-businesses that work to deliver excellence in mechanical, collision and transmission service to consumers.

Features on the growing site include the online version of AutoInc., the official publication of ASA, and a shop locator, directing consumers to a nearby ASA member shop that provides the services they need.

Visitors to the site will also find general Automotive Tips and Consumer Research. And a little digging uncovers insider tips to service technicians, and detailed articles of interest to those working on cars, whether professionally or at home.
