Your family loves road trips. Road trips can be the most enjoyable thing that you do, and everybody gets along perfectly. However, it is possible for things to go wrong if your car, truck or utility vehicle stops working during a road trip. Call our shop to arrange a pre-trip inspection. Our pre-trip inspection includes the following services to make sure you don’t get stranded with a break-down.
Batteries
We will inspect and test the battery to ensure that it holds a charge. Also, we will check that the battery does not leak acid or that it is not damaged. We will give the thumbs up if your battery is in good condition. We will inform you if it is time for a new battery. The old battery will be properly disposed of if you do need a new battery so you don’t have to worry about it.
Brake System
To make sure that you are able to rely on your brake system, even when you need to stop for any reason, we will inspect it. You need to be able to rely on your vehicle’s brake system when driving it, especially if you are going on a road trip. We will replace the brake pads, if necessary, just like the battery. Old brake pads can make stopping your automobile more difficult.
Cooling System
To ensure you don’t become stuck with an overheating engine, we will inspect the cooling system. We will inspect the cooling system and check all automotive fluid levels and filters. To ensure they are in good condition, we will inspect the belts as well as the hoses. We don’t want anything that could be perceived as a minor problem to get you stuck in a stranded position on your road trip.
Oil
Even if the service isn’t due, it is a good idea for your car to get its oil changed before you go on a road trip. You may need to have your oil changed depending on how far you drive. We can take care of your oil change now so that you don’t have to worry about it while you’re on the road.
We will then inspect the tires to ensure they are in good condition. We will replace the tires if there is any problem with the tread. For a pre-trip inspection, call us today to schedule an appointment.
