Summer Road Trip Essentials: Preparing Your Vehicle
July 8, 2026
A summer road trip is a classic adventure, but the heat can take a toll on both you and your vehicle.
Check Your Fluids
Coolant, oil, and transmission fluid should all be topped off.
Tire Pressure
Hot asphalt increases tire pressure, increasing the risk of blowouts. Check your tires when they are cold.
Pack a Sunvisor
When you stop for lunch or a hike, put your sunvisor up. Returning to a cool car will make the next leg of your journey much more comfortable.
