Why is it important?

Each year, more than 5% of all vehicle accidents are caused by unperformed vehicle maintenance. These accidents result in 2,600 deaths, 100,000 disabling injuries and a financial cost of over $2 billion.

The good news is that simple and inexpensive steps such as properly inflating tires, securing gas caps, and routine check-ups can increase vehicle safety, benefit the environment, preserve precious energy resources, reduce cost of ownership, and help to protect the value of the motorist’s investment.
