Are you making weekend getaway plans for summer? If so, make sure your car, SUV, or truck is ready to handle the miles, heat, and unexpected weather. Here are a few things you should do before you hit the road.
Scheduled Service and Maintenance
Get your oil changed, replenish fluids, and inspect the battery to be sure you'll have no problem starting the car and staying on the road. Also, make sure to check the tires' air pressure, get a rotation, and if needed, an alignment.
By keeping your vehicle up to date on scheduled service, you'll get better mileage and stay safer no matter where you go.
Stock Up to Stay Safe
Keep a supply of drinking water and snacks to stay hydrated in extreme temperatures or if you're far from the next pit stop.
Emergency kits and safety gear will keep you protected in case you get lost or have an unexpected accident that could leave you on the side of the road, in the heat or rain, while you wait for help.
