Summer is here which also means summer vacations. Majority of people drive to their summer vacation spots, whether it be one long trip or several small ones throughout the summer. Making sure your vehicle is ready for the trip is just as important as making sure your destination is ready for you.
Seven simple items can make or break your vacation:
Flush Radiator: this should be done once a year to help prevent corrosion and failure.
Replace Air Filter: Your vehicle needs to breath just as much as you do.
Check Tires: Poor tread depth can greatly reduce traction, especially during summer rain.
Windshield Wipers: Winter is hard on wipers and by summer they can be dry & cracked.
Brakes: A quick check during the oil change is well worth it.
Battery: Cold weather can cause corrosion build up.
Headlights: You are sometimes the last to know your headlight is out. Better to find out now than after the police stop you.
Following the above tips should improve chances of something going wrong with your summer driving vacation. There is always more you can have checked out but atleast doing the above will help. Drive safely!!
