Motorists of all ages will be able to benefit from a free Safe Driving Day event at the Asheville AAA branch office. The event, scheduled for Friday, June 8, will include CarFit checks for seniors, child passenger seat checks for children and free vehicle checks for all those old enough to drive.

Those seeking additional information CarFit or should call 828-253-5376. The AAA Vacations office is at 1000 Merrimon Ave., Suite B near the Fresh Market and the programs are held from 10 a.m. -2 p.m.

CarFit is a new program designed to give motorists a quick but comprehensive check of how well they and their vehicle work together. Trained professionals will ask simple questions and complete a 12-point CarFit checklist with participants and their vehicle. The process is expected to take 15 minutes per participant.

In addition to a CarFit check for seniors, AAA staff also will be on hand to inspect child passenger safety seats and the vehicle itself for free.

Appointments are not needed for the vehicle safety check, which will include looking at a vehicle’s tires, windshield wipers, lights, belts, hoses, air filter and battery.

Attendees will receive a written evaluation of their vehicle’s safety, and parents will be instructed on the installation of their child’s passenger safety seat.
