BETHESDA,
Md. – In an effort to provide a more extensive, up-to-date directory of
repair shops and parts stores throughout the country for consumers to
access, the Car Care Council has expanded its “Find-a-Shop” and
“Find-a-Store” online resource.
To
accommodate this enhancement, the council will replace its traditional
shop/store locator function with a comprehensive list of company and
organization website directories that not only help visitors find a
convenient repair shop or parts store in their area, but some also
offer information and cost estimates on specific parts and repairs by
vehicle make, model and year.
“The
Car Care Council wants to provide consumers with the very best
resources to help them search for a repair shop or parts store in their
area, so we have created a special section on our website that lists a
number of online directories maintained by distributors, retailers,
program groups and other organizations,” said Rich White, executive
director, Car Care Council.
The
repair shops and parts stores directories now listed on the site
include: AAA, ACDelco, Advance Auto Parts, AutoMD, Auto Value and
Bumper-to-Bumper, AutoZone, CARQUEST, Extreme Wrench, Federated Car
Care Centers, International Automotive Technicians’ Network, NAPA,
National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), National
Pronto Association, O’Reilly Auto Parts, Parts Plus, Pep Boys and
RepairPal.
