The Car Care Council announces that organizations can register their 2008 National Car Care Month vehicle check-up events on the council’s website at www.carcare.org.

“The National Car Care Month event locator is very popular with motorists who visit the Car Care Council website,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “With more than 155,000 visitors each month, www.carcare.org is the ‘go to’ place to find vehicle check-up events throughout the country.”

Each year, National Car Care Month vehicle check-up events are conducted nationwide by independent repair shops and auto parts stores, as well as vocational schools.

“Major distributors to small, independent service shops have realized how the ‘Be Car Care Aware’ campaign, and more specifically, National Car Care Month, can help build their businesses,” White said.

To help organizations conduct vehicle check-up events, the council has created tools to enhance their efforts, including a “How To” DVD/CD and the one-of-its-kind Car Care Guide. In addition, visitors to the industry section of the council’s site will find “Be Car Care Aware” point-of-sale starter kits and a virtual store of fashionable apparel and premium items available for purchase.

The Car Care Council is the source of information for the “Be Car Care Aware” consumer education campaign promoting the benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance and repair to consumers. For a free copy of the council’s Car Care Guide or for more information, visit www.carcare.org.
