October is Car Care Month, and nothing ruins a fall morning like a car that won’t start. Batteries usually quit without warning, and Conejo Valley summers wear them down fast.
Stop by for a free battery test. It’s quick, and we’ll tell you whether yours has another season in it.
If it’s time for a new one, we’re an official AAA battery dealer and keep AAA batteries in stock, so there’s no waiting on parts. Every AAA battery comes with a 3-year warranty. 🔋

Meet Chris!
Chris started as our Shop Porter in 2020, and through hard work and a real passion for automotive repair, he has earned several ASE certifications and grown into a solid technician. Kind, funny, and endlessly patient, Chris brings the soul to our team and truly lives the PAC way.
Chris is always determined to do things the right way, even if that means taking the long road to get there. He's back at Pierce College working toward more advanced ASE certifications, and his detail-oriented nature and methodical work ethic will keep him advancing and excelling. You can trust your car is in good hands with Chris, because he genuinely cares.
When he's not at work, you can catch Chris working on his race car, playing the drums, and eagerly awaiting the arrival of his first child!
Fun fact: If Chris could have any superpower, it would be the ability to slow down time.

If you're too busy to deal with car issues in the morning when you are trying to get to work or rush your kids to school then this post is for you!
With busy and cooler fall mornings approaching let's talk about what actually changes when temperatures drop in the Conejo Valley, and why it matters for your car:

🔋 Battery — cold mornings are the #1 reason batteries fail right when you need them. If yours is 3+ years old, this is the month to know instead of guess.
🛞 Tire pressure — for every 10° the temperature drops, tire pressure drops too. Under-inflated tires you didn't even do anything to cause.
🌧️ Wiper blades — the ones that were fine all summer are about to meet their first real test.
🔥 Heater/defroster — the one thing nobody checks until the first foggy morning they actually need it.

Save this and share it with your carpool and lets us help you avoid morning drama! Call to book your complimentary fall health inspection.
