While on the road traveling to your summer vacation destination, it is not the time to realize you should have checked your car more thoroughly before hitting the road

Plan ahead to take your car in for a full-service inspection. Rely on professionals to perform a complete inspection of all your car’s working parts to include:

• Engine
• Oil change
• Battery
• Hoses and belts
• Check and top off fluids
• Air filter, cabin filter
• Change windshield wipers
• Check headlights and brake lights
• Check for properly functioning signals
• Brakes
• Tires (checking tread, proper tire pressure, rotate the tires if needed)

Be sure to voice any concerns about your vehicle to the technician. If you’ve noticed any noises or sponginess from the brakes, steering or handling concerns while driving, fluid leaks or anything else that feels off

Even if you might feel like something is too insignificant to mention, pass it on to the technician so they know what to check.
