Get your car holiday-ready with these quick tips for a safe, smooth ride.
Planning a getaway, fireworks show, or family BBQ? Make sure your car is just as ready to celebrate as you are! A quick checkup before you hit the road can help avoid delays, breakdowns, and stress—so you can focus on the fun.
Tire Check
- Check tread wear and look for cracks or bulges.
- Set your tire pressure to the recommended level (don’t forget the spare!).
Fluids & Filters
- Top off or replace your oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid.
- A clean air filter helps your engine breathe better in summer heat.
Battery Health
- Make sure your battery is fully charged and corrosion-free.
- If it’s been a while, stop by and we’ll test it for you!
A/C & Cabin Comfort
- Confirm your A/C is blowing cold—essential for summer drives.
- Replace worn wiper blades and fill washer fluid for clear visibility.
Lights & Signals
- Test headlights, brake lights, and turn signals—especially if driving after dark.
Emergency Kit
- Keep jumper cables, a flashlight, first aid kit, water, and snacks on hand.
- Bonus: throw in phone chargers, sunscreen, and bug spray!
