Road Trip Maintenance 101

‘Tis the season for Holiday road trips! If you’re planning to hit the road, make sure to follow these simple tips to ensure a safe and healthy ride to wherever your destination may be.

Tire Check

Tire maintenance can be easy to overlook, but it’s a crucial step in ensuring your vehicle is winter road ready. Check the tread on each tire and with the changing temperatures, make sure each tire has been filled to the recommended air pressure. You can even opt for our team at MotorWorld | MileOne Autogroup to check the alignment and rotate the tires before you head out for added peace-of-mind.

Fluid Levels

Salt-covered roads mean your vehicle will be using more window washer fluid than usual. Top that off and while you’re at it, get the engine coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and power steering fluid checked as well.

Brake Inspection

Your brakes are one of the most critical safety features of your car. This means making sure they’re in tip-top-shape before your trip is critical too. Having a certified technician examine the brake pads, rotors, drums, hoses, and brake fluid will keep the drive smooth and stress-free. Whether you’re planning to embark on long highway stretches or rugged mountain terrain, you’ll want to know that your brakes are ready for the road ahead.

General Maintenance

Even if you haven’t been driving as much lately, if you haven’t had your vehicle in for service in the last 6 months you should consider having it serviced before a big trip. Our trained technicians at MotorWorld | MileOne Autogroup will make sure your vehicle is in the best condition for your upcoming trip.
