Car Care Council’s Web Site Offers Event Locator to Consumers Across the Country

BETHESDA, MD – Sept. 21, 2009 – The Car Care Council announces that organizations can register their 2009 Fall Car Care Month community car care events on the council’s Web site at www.carcare.org/host-an-event/CCM-form.

“Major distributors to small, independent service shops have realized how the ‘Be Car Care Aware’ campaign, and more specifically, Fall Car Care Month, can help build their businesses,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “The Car Care Month event locator is very popular with motorists who visit the Car Care Council Web site. It’s the ‘go to’ place to find community car care events throughout the country.”

Each year, Fall Car Care Month community car care events are conducted nationwide by independent repair shops and auto parts stores, as well as vocational schools and other aftermarket organizations.

“Consumers are conscious of every penny they spend these days, recognizing that maintaining their vehicle is a more efficient alternative than purchasing a new one,” White said. “Car care events during Fall Car Care Month in October are the perfect time to show motorists just how much they can save in the long run through proper vehicle maintenance.”

To help organizations conduct community car care events, the council has launched a Car Care Month Tool Kit for aftermarket companies and organizations to find everything they need to participate or get involved with Fall Car Care Month in October.
