Going on a Road Trip? Here’s How to Prepare Your Vehicle Explore the open road from home, to your destination, and back with your reliable vehicle from Jim Shorkey Auto Group. For a smooth travel experience, consider following these tips to prepare for your vehicle for your upcoming journey. Vacation is All I Ever Wanted, Be Prepared For Your Getaway Before a road trip, your vehicle should go through some preparation. One of your vacation check list tasks should be to make sure your vehicle is ready for the highway, backroads, or wherever you’re going to travel. Here are a few major points to examine: Tire Pressure When going on a trip, especially far distances, checking the tire pressure is important. Low pressure can cause tire damage. In case of an emergency, we would also strongly recommend keeping a spare tire in your vehicle. Engine Oil Oil and filter changes help keep engines at proper condition. Changing your oil can even improve gas mileage. Poor engine lubrication can lead to increased fuel consumption. Make sure there is enough clean oil in the engine. Furthermore, this could be a total game changer during your trip. Coolant/Windshield-Wiper Fluid Levels Low fluid levels mean the fluids have less time to cool in the radiator before being pumped through the system again. Consequently, resulting in inefficient engine cooling. Getting the levels checked and filled is an easy process and can be done quickly and efficiently before heading out on the road. Gas This one should be a no-brainer. Filling up your gas tank is one of the most necessary preparatory measures you can take. Hit the gas station, grab a coffee, and you’ll be well on your way toward your adventure. And if You Want to be Extra… Make sure vehicle cabin has a jumper cable, flashlight, and the vehicle manual just incase of an emergency. Can you ever be too prepared? We don’t think so.
