It’s the holiday season, and so we begin our annual road trips to see all of the relatives. Get your car ready for the road by taking a little time to review our car care checklist. A little maintenance and prevention goes a long way, and lets you focus on the joys of the season.

If your car is due for an oil change, tune-up, or other regular service, go ahead and make your appointment now – ahead of the last minute crowd.

If time is tight, Milton Ruben Toyota Scion – an automotive group located in Augusta, GA – recommends that you do at least three things:

Check your fluids. Engine oil, brake fluid, windshield wiper fluid, antifreeze or coolant, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid.

Check your tires. Do they have bulges, bald spots, or uneven treads? Are they properly inflated according to the recommendations in your owner’s manual?

Check the hoses and belts. Look for frays, leaks and loose or missing clamps. You don’t want to find out on the side of the road – with a car load of kids – that you have a much bigger problem!

If the idea of locating all of these fluids, belts and hoses- much less making a sound judgement on the reliability of them – seems daunting, trust your local service department to get your car into top shape for you. You can even ask for or find service coupons on your service department’s website. Let them ensure that your car is safe and road ready, while you focus on driving to your destination worry free!

Happy Travels!
