Regular Vehicle Repair - Car Care Aware

Educating the Consumer
We take pride in our endorsement of the CAR CARE AWARE program. Lead by the AAIA (Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association), CAR CARE AWARE focuses on the importance of regular vehicle maintenance and repair.
    
The program, which has been in place since mid 2002, has attracted attention from both the aftermarket industry and consumers alike. For too long, car and truck owners have neglected their vehicles due to a lack of awareness or misinformation. As awareness builds, consumers will take action, thus reducing vehicle neglect. Consumers can now be educated on corrective maintenance, to prolong the life of their vehicles.

Take control of your vehicle!
The CAR CARE AWARE PROGRAM provides tools via the web to allow "Do-It-Yourself" consumers to reference detailed descriptions of vehicle components, their purpose, and proper maintenance tips. With an educated consumer, the results will not only increase profitability in the aftermarket but conserve energy, improve highway safety and benefit the environment.
