A Clean Car Is Money In The Bank Purchasing a new car is a major financial investment. Keeping it clean is an easy and inexpensive way to protect its resale and trade-in value, according to the nonprofit Car Care Council. “Many motorists procrastinate when it comes to cleaning their vehicles,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “Whether you do it yourself or have it cleaned professionally, proactively keeping your car clean on the outside, and tidy on the inside, will pay big dividends when it comes to maintaining your vehicle’s value over time.” The Car Care Council suggests five simple steps to keep a vehicle clean, helping protect it from the elements and preserve its value.

It marks the 14th time a Corvette has served as the official Pace Car, starting in 1978, and the 28th time a Chevrolet has led the field, dating back to 1948, when a 1948 Fleetmaster Six convertible paced the race. No other vehicle has served as the Pace Car more than the Corvette. “Chevrolet is proud to once again pace the Indianapolis 500,” said Steve Majoros, marketing director for Chevrolet’s cars and crossovers. “The Corvette Grand Sport’s performance active exhaust capability and motorsports heritage • Eight-speed paddle-shift automatic make it the perfect choice to pace transmission ‘The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.’” • Equipped with the available carbon-fiber ground effects package The 2017 Corvette Grand • Specific Grand Sport wheel design: 19 x 10-inch (front) and 20 x 12-inch Sport Pace Car features: (rear) • 460-hp (343 kW) LT1 direct-injected V-8 engine with dry-sump oiling and • Standard magnetic ride control,

Recalls: What To Know
For many consumers, the word “recall” dredges up feelings of fear and anxiety. It may help if you try to think of a recall as an extension of the manufacturer’s continued commitment to the consumer’s safety—even years after the warranty period has expired. In most cases, a recall of your car does not mean that it is destined to breakdown, but rather that a problem in the manufacturing process has been identified in a number of similar models and therefore has the potential to surface in yours. Usually, the manufacturer has engineered a fix and the dealer can install the new part or parts at no cost to you. Some recalls are prompted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration while others are completely voluntary on the part of the manufacturer.
How do I find out about a recall?
If you purchased your vehicle when it was new, the manufacturer should have your name and address on file. If your vehicle is the subject of a recall campaign, the manufacturer will contact you via mail or by phone. If you hear of a recall by way of the news media, but you have not heard from the manufacturer, you can contact either the manufacturer or your local dealership and provide them your VIN (vehicle identification number). With this number, they will be able to tell you if your vehicle is part of
the recall. You can also contact the Auto Safety Hotline of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at 888-327-4236, or visit www.nhtsa. gov. Here you will find recall data for all cars sold in the United States dating back to 1966.
What if I’m not the original owner?
If you purchased a used car, you may want to contact the manufacturer and let them know you are now the current owner. The manufacturer will place your car’s VIN, your name and home address into a database for all future correspondence. You can contact the manufacturer by phone, usually via the customer service department; there should be a toll-free number in your owner’s manual that you can reference. If your car did not come with an owner’s manual, go to the manufacturer’s website and see if there is a customer service number listed or visit your local dealer and order a new manual. Regardless of whether you are the original owner or not, you still qualify for any recalls, including those that have occurred before you bought the car. The statute of limitations for all no-charge recalls is
eight years from the original sale date of the vehicle. After that time, you may be required to pay if you wish to have the part or parts replaced or corrected. Unfortunately, if you paid to correct the problem before the recall was issued, the manufacturer is under no obligation to compensate you for the cost of that repair. Again, you will want to visit the NHTSA website and thoroughly read through all the sections. You can also learn about TSBs (technical service bulletins)
for your car at www.alldata.com. TSBs are sent to the dealerships to help mechanics in troubleshooting problems that may be annoying, but do not merit a national recall. —Courtesy of Kelley Blue Book (www.kbb.com)
CAR CARE from page 13A Declutter
Start the cleaning process by removing excess clutter from inside the car as it can be distracting and hazardous, especially when debris finds its way near the gas and brake pedals. Don’t forget to clear out items that have accumulated in the trunk as they can add extra weight and reduce fuel efficiency.
Clean the Interior
The next step is to thoroughly clean the interior, wash the windows, and clean and install floor mats. Be sure to vacuum on a regular basis. A clean and orderly interior allows you to spot issues in the cabin so you can get them repaired before they get worse.
Wash the Exterior
Give your car a good wash from
top to bottom using products specifically made for automobiles. Always clean the tires and wheels before washing the body, and don’t use the same washing mitt or cloth for both.
Wax Twice a Year
Waxing not only protects a vehicle’s finish, but it also makes subsequent washing easier. Before proceeding, make sure there are no foreign particles on the paint. It is important to note that waxing should be done in the shade, not direct sunlight.
Fix Chips
If you find minor paint damage, cover the paint chips as quickly as possible to prevent further damage. For a quick fix until you can get paint touch-up supplies, dab a little clear nail polish on the scratch. The Car Care Council is the
source of information for the “Be Car Care Aware” consumer education campaign promoting the benefits of regular vehicle
care, maintenance and repair to consumers. Visit www.carcare.org to order a copy of the council’s Car Care Guide.
