October isn’t just about pumpkin spice and Halloween decorations, it’s also National Car Care Month, a reminder for drivers to give their vehicles the attention they need before winter arrives. The fall season provides the perfect window for inspections, tune-ups, and repairs that can keep cars safe and reliable through colder months.
Why October?
The Car Care Council designates October as National Car Care Month because weather changes place extra demands on vehicles. Colder temperatures can strain batteries, thicken engine oil, reduce tire pressure, and reveal hidden issues that might not be noticeable during the summer. By addressing maintenance in October, drivers can avoid costly breakdowns, improve safety, and extend the life of their vehicles.
