April is Suspension & Safety Month at AutoTrust

That’s why we are featuring our inspection and alignment special this month.

You get a 106 point written report detailing the vehicles safety system so you can plan for the coming summer. Also included is our graphical printout of your shocks performance, now you can see it on paper how they perform. A superior test that avoids differing opinions as to what good and what’s not, ask us for details on it.

We have a ‘Control Your Ride’ special this month on our featured shocks and struts, you can get $20-$150 cash back mail in rebate. We have a variety of combinations available so call us to find out which one is for you.

The fringe benefit of getting your vehicle inspected is knowledge. Now you can make informed decisions on what’s best for your budget, your car and your plan for the future.

"Whether it's an oil change, replacing brakes or new belts and hoses, that periodic repair bill is a drop in the bucket compared to monthly payments on a new car," says Car Care Canada’s Marc Brazeau. "The bottom line is that a properly maintained vehicle is safe, more dependable, more fuel efficient, less polluting and more valuable. The smartest way to get a solid return on investment is to keep your car through what we call the 'Cinderella Era.' It's that period of time after the payoff when your car is still in great shape and needs only modest repairs."

Figures from Runzheimer International, a management consulting firm that measures travel and living costs, confirms Car Care Canada’s claims. Recent figures from a Runzheimer study show that trading a vehicle every eight years instead of every four can save more than $3,000 a year after the payoff. That includes repairs and maintenance, license, registration, taxes and insurance.
