Give Your Car a Safety Check

Here's a safe bet: Safety behind the wheel means more than just making certain your seat belt is fastened. Your family's safety is also tied up in the safety of your car.

Springtime, experts say, is a critical time for checking the safety of your car. Even if money is tight, don't postpone safety needs, just postpone paying for them. If you've been driving in winter weather, don't overlook these important areas:

check the tires and alignment for damage caused by chuck holes and examine tires for abnormal wear patterns, and
have the brakes checked by a qualified mechanic.

Here's a way to assure safe transportation: an increasing number of motorists are taking advantage of a "90-day-same-as-cash" credit card program now available at tire and auto dealerships throughout the country.

The "Money Express" card enables motorists to spread payments of major purchases over a period of 90 days without paying interest or service charges.

Because the program is made available through the National Tire Dealers and Retreaders Association, vacationing motorists are also able to use the credit card for emergency purchases at more than 3,200 dealer outlets.

Tires, auto supplies, and service work can be charged on the Money Express card. There is no annual fee for the card. The program is a credit service of Bank One, N.A., Dayton, Ohio.(NAPSI)
