How To Reduce The Risk Of A Dismal Road Trip: Prepare Your Vehicle for Summer with Preventive Maintenance

As summer approaches, the allure of Colorado’s open road beckons. Whether it's a family vacation, a solo adventure, or a weekend getaway, the last thing you want is for car troubles to derail your plans. At Adams Automotive, we believe that the key to a successful and enjoyable road trip lies in proper vehicle preparation and preventive maintenance. Here's how you can ensure your vehicle is ready for the summer heat and the long miles ahead.

Preparing for Your Road Trip

Before you hit the road this summer, schedule a preventive maintenance check with Adams Automotive. Our comprehensive inspection will cover all the critical areas of your vehicle, ensuring it’s in peak condition for your journey. Here are some additional tips to keep in mind:

  • Pack an Emergency Kit: Include items like jumper cables, a flashlight, basic tools, a first-aid kit, and extra water.

  • Plan Your Route: Know your route and plan for rest stops to avoid fatigue.

  • Stay Connected: Ensure your phone is fully charged and consider having a car charger on hand.

These are the basics for a road trip! Don’t forget to pack accordingly for the length of your trip, bringing doubles of things like contacts, meds, and the like. 

Essential Summer Maintenance Tips

Your vehicle needs to be prepared for the open road before you head out. Some tips we give our clients are:

 

  • Check Your Cooling System. Summer heat can be brutal on your engine. Make sure your cooling system is in top condition by checking the coolant level and inspecting the radiator, hoses, and belts for any signs of wear or leaks.

  • Inspect Your Tires. Proper tire maintenance is crucial for safety and fuel efficiency. Check the tread depth, look for any signs of uneven wear, and ensure your tires are properly inflated. Don't forget to inspect your spare tire and bring it up to standard.

  • Test Your Battery. Heat can significantly reduce a battery's lifespan. Have your battery tested to ensure it holds a proper charge. Clean any corrosion from the terminals and ensure the connections are tight.

  • Evaluate Your Brakes. Reliable brakes are essential for safety. Have our technicians inspect your brake pads, rotors, and fluid levels to ensure everything is functioning correctly.

  • Change Your Oil and Filters. Regular oil and filter changes are vital for keeping your engine running smoothly. Check your owner's manual for the recommended oil change interval and make sure your air and fuel filters are clean.

  • Air Conditioning System Check. A functioning air conditioning system is not just about comfort; it's also about safety. Ensure your A/C system is fully charged and that there are no leaks in the system.
