All too often vehicle maintenance falls through the cracks of daily and monthly routines. “Properly preparing your vehicle for upcoming winter weather is essential for safe driving and will greatly decrease the chances of your vehicle leaving you stranded in the cold,” said Tom Giasson, Manager of AAA Approved Auto Repair and Auto Buying Services.
“Many of the most common driving emergencies can be easily avoidable by preparing your vehicle for the winter season,” Giasson added. The AAA Mobile Battery Service will be on-site at the free clinics, with technicians ready to test your battery and charging system, and if necessary, replace your vehicle’s battery at our member-friendly price.
Make it a point to stop by one of AAA’s Free Car Care Clinics to have your vehicle checked out by AAA’s Automotive Service Excellence Certified Technicians. No appointments are necessary, and are for members and non-members alike. As we roll into the winter months, and our busiest road travel season, make sure your vehicle will safely get you there.
