For those of you who like free stuff, AAA is offering a free winter car care inspection during the month of October. Here's what they check:
- Motor Oil
- Brake Fluid Level
- Auto Transmission Fluid
- Windshield Washer Solvent
- Power Steering Fluid
- Anti-Freeze Level/Strength
- Belts and Hoses
- Battery Terminals/Load Tests
- Air Filter Element
- Wiper Blades
- Lights and Directional Signals
- Tire Pressure
To find approved auto repair facilities near you, click this link.
Seems like much of this could either be 1) checked yourself or 2) included as part of any oil change (at least where I gat my oil changed.) But then again, if you want to make sure and if you're a AAA member, you may want to check this out.
Note the "michigan" in that URL. :} When I (in the Northeast) click on that link, it takes me to my local chapter's home page, and no amount of searching turns up any such offer by my local chapter.

Auto club south (Florida, Georgia, and the western two thirds of Tennessee) has free twenty point inspections as a member benefit year round at selected locations. If you look online, or call 1-800-AAA-HELP, you can gettransferred to a local branch or call center to find out where.
