Tempe,Tempe Windshield Company Honors 'Car Care Month' to Keep Motorists Safe Articles Ahwatukee, and Guadalupe Drivers, Suntec Auto Glass - Your local Windshield Company - is proud to support 'Car Care Month'. Windshield Replacement and Auto Glass Repair is as important as any other maintenance on your car.

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 think you have the most trusted vehicle on the road, it doesn’t take much neglect to go from safe to sorry!

Regular car maintenance is essential – not only to your auto, but to your loved ones as well. Over five percent of automobile accidents result from unperformed vehicle 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 most likely the easiest to sustain 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 cars that might not come with a maintenance schedule, there are websites such as www.Edmunds.com which provide the appropriate information for just about every make and model vehicle.

vital parts 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 need to 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 automobile should be checked monthly for lights, tire inflation, check engine light on and windshield washer fluid.

October is reserved as Fall Car Care Month by the Car Care Council! This means that volunteer car professionals all across the country will help customers prepare for the upcoming winter season and educate about proper car care safety. Subaru has announced their support of Fall Car Care Month. Owners of Subaru’s can bring their cars into local dealerships for free inspections with particular focus on areas that minimize fuel consumption. ÿ
