April is National Car Care Month.  The Travel Industry Association predicts Americans will take nearly 281 million car trips this spring.  To help remind travelers to get their cars in shape before hitting the road, Honda dealerships are once again hosting Honda Car Care Days.  According to the National Car Care Council, most car breakdowns are the result of neglected maintenance.  During Honda Car Care Days, Honda owners can get a free 40-point inspection.  John Petas, Senior Vice President of American Honda parts and service: 

 

�Road trips are an American tradition, but they�re no fun if your car has problem.  Something as simple as basic vehicle maintenance can help insure a fun trip and even more importantly, a safe trip.�

 

The National Car Care Council reports that in addition to causing breakdowns, poorly maintained cars can waste as much as 10 miles per gallon.
