Preparing Your Vehicle for Safe Holiday & Vacation Travels

Preparing Your Vehicle for Safe Holiday & Vacation Travels

Spring and summer bring warm weather and travel plans for many drivers across the area. At this moment, you might be planning a road trip to visit family or friends at destinations across the country. Before hitting the road, it's a good idea to make sure your vehicle is ready to meet the miles with you. At Tire World, we can help you prep for your holiday and vacation travels with a variety of automotive services encompassing the tires, wheels, brakes, and more.

When it comes to your pre-trip game, there's no team like the team at your local Tire World you keep you rolling!

Here are some good checklist items for preparing your vehicle for extended trips on the road. You can do some of them yourself or save time and have Tire World take care of everything at once!

1. Check Your Tires and Wheels

Your tires are your vehicle's only contact with the road, making their condition critical for safety. Inspect your tires for adequate tread depth, even wear, and proper pressure levels. It's also a good idea to rotate your tires at regular intervals to extend their lifespan and improve performance.

At Tire World, we offer a wide selection of tires when you're in need of replacement car tires. We also offer expert tire maintenance and wheel alignment services to ensure that your tires are primed and ready to go the distance with you.

2. Inspect Your Brakes

Brakes are vital for your safety, especially during holiday travels when roads can be busy. Listen for any unusual noises and pay attention to how your brakes feel. If you notice issues, such as squealing or reduced responsiveness, it's time for a brake inspection. Our technicians can perform thorough checks and replacements to keep your brake performance responsive.

3. Test Your Battery

A dead battery can quickly derail your holiday and vacation travelling plans. Low winter temperatures can can affect battery performance, and high summer temperatures can take an even greater toll on your battery's health, so make sure your battery is in good condition before setting off. On average, car batteries have a lifespan between 3-5 years, so if you're vehicle's battery is within this timeframe, it's a good idea to have it tested.

We offer battery testing and replacement services to keep your car powered.

4. Replace Wiper Blades

Clear visibility is a must, especially during spring showers. Check your wiper blades for any signs of wear or damage and replace them if necessary. Pay attention to how they perform the next time you need to use them, and if you see steaks or notice they aren't clearing your windshield that great anymore, stop by your nearest Tire World for replacement wiper blade installation. We have high-quality wiper blades for a variety of vehicles.

5. Replace the Cabin Air Filters

When was the last time you replaced your vehicle's cabin air filters? These filters stop debris from entering the cabin interior where the driver and passengers reside. However, they can clog over time or deteriorate, which is why they require replacement at routine intervals. Make sure you're breathing better air replacement air filters at your local Tire World.

6. Change the Oil & Check Other Automotive Fluids

Don't forget to check if it's time for your next oil change. Your vehicle's oil plays a role in fuel economy, and you'll want to make sure you're getting the best mileage before going on a long road trip. The Tire World team can assist you when you need oil change services performed. We can also assist with fluid top-offs and fluid exchanges for the brake fluid, transmission fluid, coolant, and differential fluid.

7. Schedule a Vehicle Inspection

Last but not least, you can opt for a comprehensive visual vehicle inspection that covers key components. Our team will look at all areas that don't require disassembly and provide you with an overview of your vehicle's condition.
