Spontaneous road trips are always exciting, but planning ahead and prepping your vehicle can make trips less stressful and more fun. Prepare an emergency kit, clean your interior, and come in for a Ford service appointment before heading out on the open road.
Get a Full Inspection
Coming in for a comprehensive inspection before you head out on your next road trip can prevent headaches down the road. Have our team make sure your fluids are topped up, your tires are balanced, and that your battery still has the capacity for a hot summer drive. This is especially important if your Check Engine or other warning lights are currently on.
Prepare an Emergency Kit
If an emergency does happen during your road trip, you’ll want to be prepared. Water, cleaning rags, and extra oil and coolant can be lifesavers if you need to make an emergency repair on the side of the road. Ensure you have the equipment to change a spare tire and that your spare has enough pressure in case of a blowout.
Clean Your Car
With all the extra equipment required for winter driving, it’s easy to coast into summer with a cluttered interior. Before you head out on your road trip, organize your interior and remove any additional tools you won’t need for a summer drive. A clean cabin also helps make long drives calmer and less stressful, so use the soft bristle attachment for your vacuum to thoroughly clean the interior.
