Is Your Car Road-trip Ready?
Before heading out on your summer road trip, ensure your vehicle is ready for the journey. A little preparation now can help you avoid unexpected breakdowns later.
Consider the following:
- Evaluate tread depth and confirm that tire pressure is inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended PSI.
- Get a professional brake inspection.
- Have a battery test done.
- Check and top off fluids, including wiper fluid and engine oil.
- Replace windshield wiper blades if they streak or skip.
- Test the air conditioning for performance. Replace the cabin air filter if it’s more than six months old.
Schedule Maintenance Before Your Trip
Address concerns with your mechanic before leaving for your summer vacation or road trip.
Allow time to replace tires, brake pads and rotors, and service air conditioning systems if necessary. Handling potential issues can help prevent costly breakdowns that could delay or ruin your trip.
