To keep young drivers safe and vehicles road ready, AutoNation is helping local families start the school year off on the right track by hosting free one-hour Car Care Clinics at select stores.

Backed by a new survey by Atomik Research, which shows that 92% of parents of driving-age children believe routine maintenance is key to safety and that 42% said dashboard warning indicators were ignored for a week or more, including 10% who say vehicle warnings were ignored for three months or more, the clinics are designed to give teens and young adults the knowledge and confidence to care for their vehicles while staying safe behind the wheel and preventing costly repairs.

With simple, hands-on tips on everything from checking tire pressure to understanding dashboard warning lights, AutoNation’s expert technicians will share essential car care advice such as jumpstarting a battery, proper tire inflation, changing a flat tire, checking vehicle fluids and safety items to store in a car in case of an emergency.

In addition to car care tips, clinics will incorporate driver safety education led by local community partners. Participants will have opportunities to ask questions and will receive a mini car care kit with essential items to support their safety and car care journey.

Parents and guardians must attend with their young drivers. For more information and to register for an AutoNation Car Care Clinic, visit https://tinyurl.com/55acv2rt.
