It's summer, and you know what that means! Whether you're sticking with the family this year, going on a weekend getaway with your best friends, or going on a solo road trip, you will likely need your car to get where you want to go. If you're keeping to the streets of Norristown or heading out on the highway this summer, be sure to get routine maintenance for your vehicle at our service center.
Before You Hit the Road
Getting your car ready for a long road trip is no joke. There are some steps that you need to take before you head out on the highway for your next family adventure. No matter what kind of car you have, you need to take extra precautions when you'll be away from home.
Before you leave home for your road trip destination, be sure to check the following parts of your car for any issues:
- Check the Brakes: Drive around the block and make sure you brake a lot. If you notice any squealing or grinding, this may be a sign that you have worn brake pads and they should be replaced immediately.
- Check the Battery: Pop open the hood and see how the battery is doing. If you notice that there are any loose cables or corrosion, be sure to take care of it. If your battery is weak and needs to be replaced, you can head over to our service center.
- Top Off Fluids and Replace Filters: Your car uses so many fluids that it can be hard to keep track. But before you hit the road this summer, pop open the hood and check out the engine oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and windshield wiper fluid.
- Inspect the Tires: Check out all four tires of your vehicle for any signs of excess wear, damage, low tire pressure, or foreign objects. If you notice anything wrong with your tires, you can get them replaced at Conicelli Hyundai.
