Car Care Month

Ottawa, Ontario - "May is Car Care Month" and Car Care Canada will once again be hitting the roads to educate Canadian drivers that following a regular maintenance schedule prolongs vehicle life, improves performance, protects the environment and will actually save them money.

To celebrate "May is Car Care Month", Car Care Canada will be hosting a series of "Car Care" clinics across Canada to give drivers an overview of proper vehicle maintenance. These clinics are open to motorists of all ages and will be held in cities across Canada.
