Did
you know that long trips are actually EASIER on your vehicle than day-to-day
driving? If you’re thinking about taking a road trip with family or friends, a
few simple tips will stave off many common problems. So start early and check out the tips below:
Take
care of major repairs: If your car needs anything, our technicians are always
available. Make sure that any major
repairs are taken care of at least a month before your trip.
Check the coolant: Is your destination warmer than
home? Have us check your antifreeze and
water mixture to ensure your car is running smoothly.
Check the tires: Make sure they are inflated to the proper
pressure because low pressure can cause extra heat buildup that can lead to a
blowout at high speeds. Checks the tire
tread. Put a penny; edge on with Lincoln's head pointing down, in one the
grooves of the tire. If you can see the space above Abe's head, it's time for
new tires. Also CHECK THE SPARE!
These are just a few tips for your traveling. Do you have any to add?
