Top 3 Things to Check Before a Road Trip

The holidays are the busiest time for travel and taking care of your vehicle should be a top priority to make sure you and your loved ones get to your destination safely. We have put together a check list for you to get that road trip off to a good start.

1. Basic Car Checkup. Call you local Toyota dealer and schedule an appointment to have a check up done on your vehicle. Be sure wipers and fluids are checked. Have an oil change if needed. Keeping these basics checked will help your vehicle's reliability.

2. Check your tires. Before you put the rubber to the road, check those tires to make sure they are in tip top shape. Inspect the thread to be sure there is enough left on the tire for long periods of travel. See any tears or bulging? Get them changed out at your local dealership. Make sure the air pressure is set to your owner's manual suggestion.

3. Emergency Check! Whether you are traveling through cities or on a desolate road, be sure to always plan ahead for any issues that may arise. Some items to make sure are in your vehicle are: water, blankets, jumper cables, flares, snacks, and a flashlight.


Be safe out there while you travel and have a holiday season!
