Important Road Trip Auto Maintenance Tasks

It's important to complete maintenance that helps to optimize safety. One such maintenance measure is to get to the shop for brake service. During brake service, our mechanics will meticulously inspect your braking system to make sure there are no safety hazards present. Also, we can change brake pads and lubricate parts as needed. If we do discover any serious brake problems, we'll inform you in detail and provide you an estimate. Another simple pre-departure safety measure is to make sure your tires are properly inflated. It's best to check the specified psi for your tires and then inflate accordingly. With under-inflated tires, there's a greater risk of a blowout occurring, which could cause a serious accident. Also, correctly inflated tires will help you get better gas mileage. It's also a good idea to get your battery checked so that you know it isn't likely to die while you're in the middle of nowhere, leaving you in a challenging situation. And by replacing old wiper blades, it'll be easier for you to safely see the road when a thunderstorm erupts and a downpour ensues.

Other maintenance tasks will help with regulating the heat. With AC service, we'll inspect AC parts and make sure they can be trusted to keep you cool during stretches of blazing heat. It's also a good idea to get to the shop for cooling system service if you're due. Coolant typically should be exchanged every 30,000 miles. Driving with the right level of uncontaminated coolant is central to preventing your engine from overheating.
