With the holidays approaching, it’s a good time to start thinking about your holiday travel plans. In considering which method of travel to choose, driving does avoid the aggravation of delays or cancellations, allowing you to depart on your own time. However, it’s important that you and your family remain safe and comfortable on the ride to your destination.
At Casey’s Automotive, we provide reliable, high-quality auto maintenance services for drivers in Chantilly, VA and throughout the Northern Virginia area. This holiday, let us help you prepare for your road trip through one of our expert services, such as a vehicle part replacement or repair, or a thorough inspection and maintenance service. Below, we give a few tips on making sure your vehicle serves you well through a pleasurable holiday trip:
Maintain Your Vehicle
Bring your automobile to the shop before you leave for your trip. As your trusted mechanics, we will check your fluid levels, brakes, tires, and all other parts that could pose potential issues for your trip. One such issue is spongy brakes, which could cause your brakes to fail and should be brought in immediately if you plan on doing any traveling.
Clean Out Your Automobile
A cramped vehicle could make for a stressful trip. Cleaning up the inside of your vehicle will allow space to pack more useful items. Vacuum the interior to get rid of dander, dirt, and other pollutants that could irritate you or another passenger’s allergies. Lastly, install an air freshener to keep the inside smelling fresh and clean throughout your trip.
Pack Extra Supplies and Tools
We also recommend that you purchase several spare parts for possible emergencies and urgent situations. This can include: a spare tire that fits your vehicle, as well as an iron and jack to replace the tire with; replacement fluids, such as wiper fluids, gas, power steering, and brake fluid; a plastic funnel for easier fluid fill-up; a set of jumper cables or a battery jumper, a useful alternative that includes a chargeable mobile battery that is used to jumpstart your vehicle, rather than needing another.
