say were careless If you are planning to do some trailer towing this sum mer give special attention to your cars transmission This reminder comes from Car Care Council of Canada during National car care month It stems from survey just completed by that public information organization which points to the automatic transmission as the number one component neglected by car owners In response to Car Care Council survey asking what car parts and services their customers overlook the most 1231 automobile mechanics voted the automatic transmis sion number one battery cables second and shock ab sorbers third SECOND STUDY This is the second time we have conducted this study among garage owners says Car Care Council President Fred Shaddick of Monroe Auto Equipment Co of Canada Ltd The transmissions rise from fifth place to the top spot may reflect the increase in trailer boating and travel trailer tow ing This kind of abnormal use will add to the frequency of repairs among cars that have had inadequate preventive maintenance Basic service on the transmission usually involves nothing more than changing oil and filter plus necessary ad justments Significantly battery cables which had the dubious distinction of topping the neglected list in our 1972 survey still retain strong se cond place in the opinion of the experts Most of the respondents were unable to limit their nominees to just five as we had requested few said they could have checked each category Owner complacency is at tributed to lack of understan ding of their cars maintenance needs Shaddick continued Some said there is com munications gap between the owner and his mechanic FALSE SECURITY Longer warranty and ex tended service intervals tend to lull motorists into false sense of security according to some comments The advent of the self service gas station is partly responsible for maintenance neglect too When the car is not checked by an attendant week after week things begin to wear out
