7 Ways to Ensure Your Vehicle is Road Trip Ready
Preparing your vehicle before a road trip is essential to ensure your safety and comfort during the journey. Here are 7 ways to ensure your vehicle is road trip ready:
- Check the oil and fluids: Before hitting the road, check the oil level, coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, and windshield washer fluid. Top up if necessary and have them changed if they are due.
- Inspect the tires: Check the tire pressure, including the spare, and ensure that they are within the recommended range. Inspect the tires for any signs of damage or uneven wear, and have them replaced or rotated if needed.
- Check the brakes: Have your brakes inspected by a mechanic to ensure they are in good condition. If you notice any signs of brake problems, such as squeaking or grinding, have them repaired immediately.
- Test the battery: Check the battery’s charge level and have it tested if it’s more than three years old. Replace it if necessary to avoid unexpected battery failures.
- Check the lights: Ensure all lights, including the headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals, are working correctly. Replace any bulbs that are not working.
- Pack an emergency kit: Bring along an emergency kit that includes a spare tire, tire jack, jumper cables, flashlight, first-aid kit, and other essential tools.
- Clean the interior and exterior: A clean vehicle not only looks great, but it also helps keep you and your passengers healthy. Clean the interior of the vehicle thoroughly, including the seats, carpets, and dashboard. Wash the exterior and apply wax to protect the paint.
