Tips to Make Your Road Trip a Success

We want you to have the best road trip possible. Call us today to arrange a vehicle inspection prior to your trip. This will ensure that your vehicle is ready for the constant action and won’t break down. Automotive problems are the worst thing that can happen on a trip.

Pre-trip Inspection

We will perform a thorough pre-trip inspection when you make an appointment. We will inspect the battery, brake system, and cooling system. We’ll also inspect the fluids, belts, and hoses. If necessary, we will inspect your tires and add air to them. We want your vehicle running safely and efficiently throughout the entire road trip so you never get stuck on the side of the road.

Take a Look at the Routes

After we give your vehicle the OK, you can head home and spend some time browsing the Internet to check out the routes that you have in mind for the trip. You should check for road construction or other problems that could delay your journey. Check the weather forecast to ensure you’re not driving in a severe storm. In case of emergency, you can find alternate routes.

Make Sure to Plan for Stops

You can also use the Internet to locate places to stop and stretch your legs while on the road. Many highways offer roadside attractions that provide entertainment and more than just a place to go to the bathroom. To ensure that your legs are working properly and blood circulation is maintained, plan several stops along the route. This will make everyone happy.

Get Water

Make sure you have plenty of water with you when you travel. Avoid sugary or caffeinated beverages, especially if the driver. While sugar and caffeine may temporarily make you feel good, once they wear off, you’ll be exhausted and cranky. Water is essential for staying hydrated and keeping you happy and alert. Water will also keep the family in a good mood.

Avoid Junk Food

Avoid junk food like the plague. Make sure you include breaks for lunch and dinner in your stop plans. It will make you feel better to eat at a restaurant and eat a healthy meal.

Contact us today to arrange a pre-trip inspection of your car, truck or utility vehicle. We will ensure that your vehicle is prepared for your road trip. After all, you do not want to worry about your car while traveling.
