TOWSON, MD (Wednesday, October 23, 2019) - October is Car Care Month and AAA is advising drivers to prepare their vehicle before winter weather makes an appearance. Vehicle maintenance is key and there are a few simple things every driver can do to make sure their car is road-ready for the winter ahead. According to AAA’s Your Driving Costs annual vehicle maintenance can cost an average $1,341.00, being proactive can help keep that cost down.
“Learning how to handle common maintenance issues is beneficial to anyone who gets behind the wheel,” said Chris Storms, Car Care District Director, at AAA Mid-Atlantic. “Proper maintenance can extend the life of your vehicle and help prevent costly repairs.”
In the past, vehicle maintenance needs were relatively simple and consistent across automakers. Today’s engineering advancements require less maintenance at less frequent intervals. Examples include oil-change intervals now recommended at 5,000 to 10,000 or more miles, transmission fluids designed to last 100,000 miles and sealed batteries that never need to have fluid added. Even with these advancements, vehicles still require routine services that are important to maintaining the performance and safety of the vehicle.
October is the perfect month to make sure your vehicle is winter ready. The weather is mild, and there is plenty of time to deal with the potentially costly repairs before winter weather sets in. To celebrate October Car Care Month, AAA is offering special promotions at AAA Car Care Insurance and Travel Stores in Maryland including:

AAA Tips for Winter Car Care
Harsh winter conditions make your vehicle work harder, particularly the charging and starting system, headlights, tires and windshield wipers.
AAA recommends that motorists:
When having your car serviced, follow the factory recommended maintenance schedule to avoid under- or over-maintaining your vehicle. Oil changes, tire rotations, changing transmission fluid, and replacing an air filter are the types of routine maintenance recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer. The maintenance schedule for these services and more can be found in the vehicle owner’s manual.
