More than three-fourths of vehicles inspected during National Car Care Month need repairs or maintenance. Many schools and businesses offer free safety checks during the campaign, which was recently moved from October to April. Over the past five years, 27 percent of the vehicles checked had low or dirty engine oil, 23 percent had low tire pressure, and 21 percent needed new belts. Visit www.carcare.org for details.
