Summer and fall are prime times for road trips, but before you set out on your next adventure, we highly recommend checking a few maintenance items off your to-do list. A little basic maintenance before your trip can be the difference between smooth sailing and annoying interruptions. The little things you take care of now can help you avoid bigger problems in the future. So, are you ready to gear up for your next getaway? Let us help here at our service center. We'll be happy to lend a hand.
Recommended Services Before Your Next Road Trip
If you're eager to get ready for a road trip in your Chevy Equinox or Chevy Silverado, we invite you to take a look at some of our top services and make an appointment to get your car the care it deserves. Here are some of the professional maintenance items that we recommend to help ensure that your car is ready for the drive.
Battery Check
If your battery is in rough shape, there's a higher chance that it'll fail on you. We can check your battery to make sure that it has plenty of strength and its connections are nice and tight. We can also clean up any corrosion that might have built up. If it turns out that you need a new battery, don't worry. We can fit your car with a fresh one right here in our shop.
Fluids and Filters
It's always a good idea to top off your fluids and replace your filters, especially if you know that you'll be heading out of town on a long road trip. Your vehicle depends on fluids like oil and coolant to keep everything running smoothly, so keeping them topped up helps your vehicle perform at full strength. Replacing dirty filters also helps to ensure a better driving experience.
Brake Check
You rely on your brakes to slow and stop your vehicle, and you expect them to give it their all, especially in emergency situations. If your brakes are in poor condition, you might find that it's more difficult to stop, which can be a major safety issue. We can check the brakes on your Dodge Challenger or Dodge Charger to make sure that your vehicle has ample stopping power to grant you greater peace of mind as you cruise around Madison, AL.
Tire Check
Even if every other part of your vehicle is in perfect working order, your experience behind the wheel will suffer if your tires aren't in good shape. Your tires are responsible for gripping the road, which means that your car's efficiency, performance, and safety are directly affected by the condition of your tires. Our team can check the tires on your Jeep® Grand Cherokee or Jeep® Wrangler to make sure they are in good condition and that they have proper air pressure.
Inspect Belts and Hoses
Belts and hoses function as the connective tissue for a lot of your vehicle's systems, such as its power steering, electrical, and cooling systems. We can check to make sure that none of these vital components are cracked or brittle so that you can dive into your next adventure around Athens, AL or Huntsville with total confidence.
