Question By: So you're packed, snacked, and ready for the best road trip of all time. But is your car?
Ashland Garage provides high-quality and cost-effective service that retains your car in peak condition – and you, safe. When planning your big getaway, please consider the following to ensure that your trip (or at least, the driving portion) goes off without a hitch.
Schedule An Inspection
Even if it's only been a matter of months since your latest sticker, there is no reason not to have checked before taking a long trip. Not only will you receive higher quality and lower cost service at your local shop, but you'll stave off any issue becoming a big one down the road. Request that all required maintenance be completed along with your car inspection.
Be Prepared
Just like the first aid kit that you collected for the glove box (you did assemble a first aid kit, right?), you'll want to put together a package of tools to service your car in the unexpected case of an emergency. From wrenches and heat-resistant tape to jumper cables and a tire repair kit, stock up on everything from fluids to a floor jack.
Do One Final Check
The last thing you do before you start your journey, take a walk around your car and make sure that everything is good to go. Have a look at your oil level, top up washer fluid, double-check tire pressure, and test your lights to make sure that they are all in working condition (you may have to enlist the help of a friend when it comes to the brake lights).
Whether you are starting your trip in Ashland, Virginia, or heading away from our home away from home, the friendly professionals at Ashland Garage wish you the very best on your travels. If you need any help related to car inspection or repair, visit https://ashlandgarage.com/
