Brakes for Breasts: Drive Pink, Make a Difference

October 13, 2025

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

It's a time that touches all of us in a different way. Maybe it’s a friend, a family member, a neighbor, or even someone you haven’t met yet, but breast cancer affects our communities and our lives. At Automotive Magic and Magic Lube & Rubber, we’re joining the fight with our Brakes for Breasts campaign, because together we can make a difference.


This month, we’re helping you stay safe on the road while supporting life-saving research:


Free Brake Pads All Month: Keeping your brakes in top shape is critical for safe fall and winter travel. Schedule a brake job during October, and we’ll provide the brake pads at no cost—helping you prepare for the season ahead.


Support Breast Cancer Research: A portion of every brake service we perform goes directly to the Cleveland Clinic Breast Cancer Vaccine Research. Every brake job helps fund research that could save lives.

Think Pink: Our team up front are sporting some bright pink and our technicians are proud to wear black tees with the B4B logo, showing support and spreading awareness. You’ll see our team ready to help, but also ready to remind everyone that together, our small actions add up.


Whether it’s a quick stop at the shop or a long drive to see loved ones, brakes are about more than stopping your car—they’re about keeping you safe and protecting the people you care about. This October, schedule your brake service, drive safely, and join us in braking for a cause. Every stop you make at our shop is a step toward awareness, prevention, and hope.

Community — that’s what it’s all about.

After the Women’s Car Care Clinic, guests joined Lourdes of the Vine for a fun wine tasting with prizes, laughter, and learning.

What a fantastic day we had at our recent Women’s Car Care Clinic! The turnout was incredible — a full room of women eager to learn, ask questions, and get hands-on with their vehicles. The energy was contagious from the start. Brendan led the group with his signature mix of patience and passion, breaking down the basics of car care in a way that made everyone feel comfortable and confident. From checking oil levels and understanding filters to learning about tire maintenance and warning lights, participants were eager to dive in and see for themselves how things work under the hood. It wasn’t long before everyone was getting involved — tools in hand and questions flying. And of course, no workshop would be complete without a few laughs. Somewhere along the way, the tables turned when the group discovered that I — Heidi — was a bit overdue for my own oil change and running low on oil. I caught some good-natured teasing for that one! But honestly, it perfectly proved the point we were trying to make: life gets busy, and even when you work at an awesome repair shop, car maintenance can slip your mind. The goal of this event was to make car care less intimidating and more empowering — and it did just that. Attendees left with new skills, better awareness, and the confidence to take charge of their vehicle’s upkeep. To keep things lively, Will wrapped up the session with a Car Care Quiz, testing everyone’s newfound knowledge. There were lots of laughs and a little friendly competition, especially as he handed out prizes like baseball caps from our vendors and ice scrapers — perfect timing for the chilly months ahead. We couldn’t have asked for a better turnout or a more enthusiastic group. Thank you to everyone who joined us for making it such a fun and inspiring day! Stay tuned for part two — after the learning came a little relaxation and connection, with a wine tasting that wrapped up the day beautifully.

🍂 October has a way of slowing us down in the best way. The air is crisp, the trees around Lake Hopatcong are dressed in gold and crimson, and weekends are filled with apple picking, pumpkin patches, and cozy bonfires. It’s a season that makes us appreciate comfort—and that goes for driving, too. This month also happens to be Car Care Awareness Month, a reminder from the Car Care Council that seasonal changes are the perfect time to check in on your vehicle’s health. Just like pulling out sweaters and winterizing your home, your car deserves a little seasonal prep so you can enjoy the road ahead with peace of mind. Why a Fall Health Check is Essential Fall driving is beautiful, but it also comes with unique challenges. Wet leaves on the road can be as slick as ice. The sudden drop in temperatures can deflate tires faster than you’d expect. And shorter days mean you’ll rely more on headlights and wipers than during the long summer evenings. That’s why our fall vehicle health check at Magic Lube & Rubber covers all the essentials: Brakes – So you can stop confidently, even on damp, leaf-covered roads. Tires – We check tread depth and pressure, keeping you safe when the mercury drops. Fluids & Filters – Oil, coolant, and other fluids keep your engine healthy through the season. Battery – Cold weather is tough on weak batteries, so we make sure yours is up to the task. Wipers & Lights – Visibility is safety. We’ll make sure you can see and be seen as nights come earlier. The Comfort of Preparation Think of a health check as one less thing on your mind when you’re driving to a Sunday football game, taking a scenic ride along the lake, or just running errands. A quick investment in care today means avoiding the stress of an unexpected repair tomorrow. Our customers often tell us how reassuring it feels to know their car is “winter-ready.” That peace of mind lets you enjoy fall for what it is—a season to relax, recharge, and reconnect. Make It Part of Your Routine Just like carving pumpkins or swapping out your wardrobe, a fall health check should become a seasonal habit. It’s simple, it’s smart, and it keeps you and your family safe on the road. At Magic Lube & Rubber, we believe car care is really about people care. We’re here to make sure you spend less time worrying about your car and more time enjoying everything this season has to offer. 🍂 Schedule your fall health check today and drive into autumn with confidence.
