Summer is the right time to explore new destinations on the open road. Before embarking on your summer road trip adventure, ensuring your vehicle is prepared to handle the journey is crucial.
Proper vehicle maintenance can help prevent breakdowns, improve safety, and provide peace of mind during travel. At Audi Mentor, we help you keep your vehicle performing at the highest level. That's why we want to direct your attention to some key areas you should check before your road trip. Here are some key areas to check and service before hitting the road:
1. Check and Change Your Motor Oil
Make sure your motor oil is at the proper level and not overdue for a change. Clean oil helps keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently.
2. Check and Refill Other Vehicle Fluids
Don't forget to check your coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and windshield washer fluid. Top off any low fluids. We're happy to flush and refill your fluids at our dealership.
3. Check Your Battery Charge
Have your battery tested to ensure it can hold a charge. If it's weak or old, consider replacing it before your trip. We have replacement batteries to fit every vehicle and can install one quickly.
4. Check All Lights and Replace Burnt Out Ones
Test your headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals. Replace any bulbs that are burnt out for maximum visibility and safety. We have the tools and the parts to change your lights quickly.
5. Check Your Tire Pressure, Tread, and Condition
Properly inflated tires with good tread are essential for a safe and fuel-efficient trip. Inspect your tires for any signs of excessive wear or damage. We can rotate your tires to promote equal wear. If your tires are damaged, you can purchase the right new tires in our tire center.
