Check your Car before heading for a Vacation
Going on a much-needed vacation? Don’t let car trouble bring an abrupt end to your vacation plans.
Car problems are usually due to neglected preventive maintenance. It doesn’t just entail a repair bill. It can involve towing charges, lodging and possibly a rental car.
These problems usually can be avoided with a pre-vacation inspection performed by a qualified automotive technician. To address this kind of scenario, have him perform a "physical" for your automobile checking the following systems:
• Cooling
• Braking
• Emission control
• Steering/suspension
• Fuel
• Electrical and ignition
In addition, these auto parts should also be evaluated: engine performance, tires/wheels, A.C./heater/defroster, instruments/gauges, windshield wipers, horns/lights/mirrors, seat belts and the car's body, inside and out.
A pre-trip inspection will not only help reduce chances of costly and possibly dangerous road trouble, it will also provide an opportunity to have repairs made at home, with one's own technician who knows the vehicle.
