Back-to-school season is the ideal time to review your ABCs; the ABCs of car care, that is. USA Muffler recommends that all drivers brush up on their auto care knowledge to make sure their vehicle is operating at its best before the school year carpool crunch and the onset of fall and harsh winter weather.

The ABCs of basic car care include:

1. Always follow a vehicle service schedule.
2. Be sure to have your car inspected when you suspect there is a problem.
3. Correct the problem to help avoid the inconvenience and potential safety hazards of breaking down away from home.

By following these three simple steps, you will not only protect their second largest investment, but you will be able to address minor repairs before they become more complicated expensive repairs. Stay safe out there!
