National Car Care Month: Why October (and Every Month) is the Perfect Time to Care for Your Car

October is National Car Care Month, which means it’s the perfect time to remind ourselves: a little love for your vehicle goes a long way — not just for performance, but for safety too. And here at Jim Yarger’s Body Shop, every month feels like October, because we always care, and we always say “Can Do!”

Small Car Care = Big Safety Wins

You might think that skipping that tire rotation or ignoring a wobbly windshield wiper is no big deal. But these little things can add up — and sometimes lead to accidents that are totally preventable. Here’s how a little attention can make a huge difference:

 

  • Brakes: Don’t wait until your brakes squeal like a haunted house to check them. Properly maintained brakes help you stop in time for squirrels, pedestrians, and the occasional runaway pumpkin.
  • Tires: Bald tires on slick roads? Not fun. Proper tread and pressure keep your car gripping the asphalt like it’s auditioning for a NASCAR race.
  • Lights: Headlights, brake lights, turn signals — if they don’t work, it’s like playing hide-and-seek in the dark. Make sure everyone can see you coming.
  • Wipers & Fluids: Rain, fog, or a sudden chocolate milkshake spill (hey, it happens) — good wipers and fluids keep you seeing clearly.
