Get road trip ready with these tips from AAA!
– Check your tire pressure and tread. Inspect all four tires and the spare (if you have one). Look for cuts, gouges or sidewall bulges. – Check the tire tread by inserting a quarter upside down between the tread. If you can still see the top of George Washington’s head, you need new tires.
– Check tire pressure before driving. Inflate to the manufacturer’s specifications.
– Listen to and feel the brakes. If you hear a grinding sound or feel a vibration when applying the brakes, get them professionally inspected.
– Secure and test the battery. Have a service professional check your battery to determine the remaining capacity. Ensure the cable connections are clean and tight, and the hardware is secure.
– Top off engine oil and other fluids. Ensure engine oil, coolant and brake transmission, and power steering fluids are all at the correct levels for safe vehicle operation.
– Replace wiper blades and replenish windshield cleaner fluid. If wipers streak or fail to clear the windshield thoroughly, it’s time for new blades.
– Check belts and hoses. Replace belts that are cracked, glazed or frayed. As a general rule, drive belts should be replaced every 60,000 miles. Also, radiator hoses should not leak or be worn, brittle, or excessively soft.
– Replenish emergency kit supplies. Kits should include a cell phone charger, car battery booster cables, flashlight and extra batteries, first-aid supplies, drinking water, non-perishable snacks for people and pets, emergency flares or reflectors, rain poncho, basic tool kit, duct tape, gloves and shop rags or paper towels.

Or, you can have us do it!

As part of our oil change special and winter auto service special, we inspect and clean your battery terminals and cables. In this photo, you can see the beginnings of corrosion on the terminals. This corrosion can lead to less cold cranking amps – possible resulting in your car not starting.
If you do need a battery, we can help with the exact type your vehicle requires.
Feel free to give us a call or use the link below if you would like to schedule an appointment.

The best gift of all…?
“He instilled a sense of independence, a sense that we can figure out our own problems. We do not need help. So, in a way, my dad inspired me to study automotive technology at Midland College.”
