Checklist to prepare your car for a road trip

An overheated engine or a flat tire situation is the last thing you want to experience on a road trip. Therefore, it is crucial to get the following maintenance and checkups out of the way before you head out for an exciting journey.

• Get your engine oil and brake fluid replaced.
• Check the pressure and alignment of your tires.
• Test your headlights, reverse lights, brake lights, hazard lights, and blinkers.
• If it is summertime, then get your AC tuned.
• Do not forget to carry necessary equipment such as a car jack, tire wrench, and tire pressure gauge.
• Install a new engine air filter.
