AutoNation Launches Free Car Care Clinics to Educate Young Drivers in Dallas-Fort Worth

AutoNation, Inc. is taking a significant step towards improving road safety for young drivers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area by organizing free AutoNation Car Care Clinics. Scheduled throughout August and September, these clinics are designed to educate young drivers and their parents on the crucial aspects of regular vehicle maintenance. This initiative is a direct response to alarming survey findings that reveal a substantial number of young drivers neglect dashboard warning indicators, with some ignoring them for up to three months.

The survey, conducted by Atomik Research, sheds light on a concerning lack of awareness and habits among young drivers regarding vehicle care. With 92% of parents recognizing the importance of routine maintenance for safety, AutoNation's clinics aim to fill this knowledge gap. Participants will benefit from hands-on guidance by expert technicians, learning essential skills such as checking tire pressure, interpreting dashboard warning lights, and performing emergency procedures like jumpstarting a battery or changing a flat tire.

Further insights from the survey indicate that a significant portion of parents are unsure about the last full safety inspection of their child's vehicle, with nearly half expressing worries over the condition of vital components like brakes and tires. Beyond maintenance, the clinics will also cover driver safety education, addressing issues from distracted driving to the correct use of seatbelts.

Registration for the AutoNation Car Care Clinics is required, with the stipulation that parents must accompany their teens or young adults. For those interested, more information and registration details are available at https://tinyurl.com/y767hpue. AutoNation also provides complimentary multi-point inspections and other services to ensure vehicles are in optimal condition, with further details accessible at https://www.autonation.com.

This initiative highlights AutoNation's dedication not just to automotive excellence but also to promoting safer driving practices among younger drivers. By empowering them with the necessary knowledge and skills for vehicle upkeep, AutoNation is contributing to safer roads in North Texas as the new school year approaches.
