Keeping my car care supplies neat & tidy is easy thanks to this DIY Auto Care Pegboard Organizer. It took only 30 minutes to install and it will serve me well for a long time. Now I can see all my car care supplies at a glance, from those microfiber cloths to Mobil 1™ Extended Performance.

When it comes to car care, I am not one that is scared to get my hands dirty. I already know how to add windshield washer fluid, replace the cabin air filter, and do other basic auto maintenance tasks. And I’m learning more of them each day!

My husband has taught me a number of things about keeping a car running in peak condition over the years. One thing he has always stressed is the importance of regular oil changes. When it comes to properly maintaining a vehicle, getting regular oil changes is essential. While he has changed our vehicle’s oil in the driveway before, we have also used the Auto Care Center at Walmart many times. It affordable & convenient… and I know my vehicle is in good hands there. However, sometimes we do our own oil changes in the driveway. If you do the same, make sure you dispose of the oil properly – you can recycle the oil at Walmart Auto Care Center! And when it comes to selecting the right oil for our car, we always turn to Mobil 1™ Extended Performance. I love that Mobil 1™ synthetic oil protects more than just my engine! By choosing a high-quality motor oil, we are able to perform fewer oil changes and fewer oil changes reduces overall waste! Not sure which oil you need? Use this handy oil selector tool!

Speaking of less waste, there is a fabulous Earth Day Drive Away promotion going on right now. Mobil 1™ is giving Walmart customers a chance to win a Chevy Equinox, plus $10 off their next Mobil 1™ purchase at Walmart. This offer is valid from January 15, 2018 through April 30, 2018.

Please note that entries for the sweepstakes are limited to 2 per customer (1 for purchasing and 1 for recycling).

To keep all our car care supplies, including Mobil 1™ Extended Performance, neat & tidy in the garage, I set up a Car Care Pegboard Organizer. It serves as the perfect spot to corral all our car care essentials!

DIY Auto Care Pegboard Organizer

First, select a blank wall to install the pegboard. I found a great spot in our garage right next to some hooks, where we hang lawn equipment. Use the mounting holes in the pegboard as a template to pre-drill some pilot holes.
TIP: For maximum support, position the pegboard so that the screws will insert into wall studs. Otherwise, use heavy-duty anchors.

Now it’s time to fill up the pegboard with all my car care goodies! Here are the items I want to store:

• Motor Oil
• Microfiber Cloths: perfect for cleaning the car, tires, etc.
• Squeegee: ideal for cleaning windows
• Dashboard Wipes: useful for refreshing the interior console
• Scratch Remover: smart for taking care of minor nicks, scraches, etc.

Grab a set of pegboard accessories: hooks, supports, locks, etc. You can get a mixed bag of these at Walmart.

Position them on the pegboard so that you will be able to hang all your car care items.

Hang everything up! Admire your work. Now this is much better than throwing everything inside a big bucket, am I right? Now I can see everything at a glance!

I also decided to place my Oil Change Tracker printable right next to the pegboard. This essentially serves as my one-stop car care station.

The tracker printable is perfect for keeping a log of auto oil changes & other maintenance services. To print a copy for yourself, click here.

I’m loving the way my pegbord wall looks now. It’s super organized and functional!
