We want you to have the perfect road trip this holiday season, and we can help to make that happen. Give us a call today to schedule a vehicle inspection before you leave for your road trip. This ensures that your automobile is ready to handle the continual action without breaking down. After all, nothing can spoil the trip more than automotive problems.
Pre-trip Inspection
When you schedule an appointment with us, we will conduct a thorough pre-trip inspection to make sure everything in your automobile is as it should be. This includes inspecting the battery, the brake system, and the cooling system. We will also check the fluids, belts, and hoses. We will inspect the tires and add air if they need it. We want your vehicle to run efficiently and safely.
Inspect the Routes
Once we’ve given your automobile the thumbs-up, head home and take some time on the Internet to really inspect the routes you plan to take on the trip. Check to see if there are any problems that will delay your travel such as road construction. Also, check the weather to make sure you are not driving into a severe storm. Find alternate routes in case you need them.
Plan for Stops
The Internet is also useful to find places to stop to get out and stretch your legs during the trip. Some highways have roadside attractions that are entertaining and do more than allow you to use the restroom. Plan several stops throughout the day to make sure that you can stretch your legs and keep your blood circulating. This will keep everyone happier.
Drink Water
When you hit the road, make sure to pack plenty of water to drink along the way. Avoid caffeinated or sugary beverages, especially if you are the one driving. Caffeine and sugar may make you feel great for a while, but once the effects wear off, you will be tired and cranky. Water keeps you hydrated, and this helps to keep you alert and in a good mood.
Avoid Junk Food
Finally, avoid junk food as if it were the plague. When you plan the stops, make sure to include stops for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You will feel much better if you eat in a restaurant and consume a healthy meal.
Call us today to schedule a pre-trip inspection for your car, truck, or utility vehicle. We will make sure your automobile is ready for the holiday travel.
