Summer is the perfect time for hitting the open road and embarking on an adventure. But before you pack up the car and head out, it's important to make sure your vehicle is in top shape to handle the journey. At Jeff Wyler Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM of Springfield's service center, our expert technicians can help get your car road trip ready so you can travel around Dayton with confidence.
Key Vehicle Maintenance for Summer Road Trips
Proper vehicle maintenance is essential before any long drive, especially in hot summer weather. Some the key services we recommend at our service center include:
- Oil and filter change
- Tire rotation and pressure check
- Brake system check
- Topping off all fluids
- Air conditioning system check and service
- Wiper blade replacement
Taking care of these maintenance items will help ensure your vehicle runs smoothly and safely as you log miles on your summer road trip. Our technicians are thorough and efficient in performing these services to get you back on the road quickly.
Be Prepared for Anything
Even a well-maintained vehicle can encounter unexpected issues, so it's smart to be prepared for anything when far from home. We recommend packing an emergency roadside kit with essentials like jumper cables, flashlight and batteries, first-aid supplies, basic tools, and extra water and non-perishable snacks. Having these items on hand can provide peace of mind on the road in London.
Stay Cool and Hydrated
Driving for hours in summer heat in Urbana can take a toll on you and your passengers if you're not careful. Make sure your car's air conditioning is in good working order before you depart. Pack plenty of water and hydrating fluids to drink throughout the drive. Plan for frequent rest stops to stretch, cool off and reenergize.
