Summer road trips aren’t always all fun. If your vehicle isn’t ready for those extra miles, you may find yourself stranded on the side of the road. Our Alfa Romeo service experts at Helfman Alfa Romeo have a few tips to help you get your vehicle ready.
Change Your Oil
Engine oil changes are always a priority for drivers, particularly before a big road trip. You don’t want to risk your engine overheating with all those extra miles, so make sure to schedule an oil change before you go.
Replace Your Windshield Wipers
While rain occurs throughout the year in Houston, our summers can be particularly wet. With new windshield wipers, you can make sure you always have a clear windshield when you need it.
Test Your Battery
The last thing you want to do is find yourself stuck with a dead battery on a road trip. Before you leave, we encourage you to test your battery and check its reliability.
Rotate Your Tires
By rotating your tires, you can help prevent uneven wear on your tires. This can help to keep you from dealing with a flat tire on your trip too.
Pack an Emergency Kit
You never know what could happen on a road trip. And trust us – it’s much better to have an emergency kit and not need it than the other way around.
Your kit should include:
- Jumper cables
- Flashlight
- Phone charger
- Bottled water and non-perishable snacks
- Tool kit
- First aid kit
