If you’ve got a family trip coming up soon, the first item on your checklist should be to service your vehicle before vacation. Too often, you hear stories of drivers who had a blowout in the middle of nowhere or were left stranded because of a dead battery or fried radiator. The only thing worse than an unexpected problem is an unavailable solution.
It’s important to know about potential issues before you hit the road for a long trip. At our Kia Service Center, our certified technicians can provide the necessary repairs and maintenance to ensure your vehicle makes it safely to your destination and back.
Why service your vehicle before vacation?
When you’re 150 miles north on I-75, you don’t want your trip to come to a stop because of low coolant or worn brakes. And with high tire pressure, added heat at high speeds can lead to a blowout. Problems like these are commonplace and can affect any car. But you can head off any potential problems by getting your vehicle serviced before vacation. If you schedule a check-up for your car before a family vacation, you’ll be avoiding potential road blocks that can slow or stop your trip altogether.
The service center at Rusty Wallace Kia is equipped with the tools, technology, and certified technicians necessary for comprehensive repair and maintenance work. Making an appointment for a pre-trip check of all your car’s most important systems is like insurance for a relaxing, issue-free drive.
What services do you need?
Before you leave on a family vacation, you want to check things like the following:
- Tire pressure
- Brake fluid
- Engine oil level and color
- Battery life
- Alignment
- CV joints, and
- Overall drivability
We also recommend making note of anything out of the ordinary before bringing your car in for service. Listen for noises, feel for shaking, and watch out for any of your car’s warning lights. Your technician will want to know if anything is not functioning normally.
