Summer is the time to set out on adventures! We recommend
getting out of Orlando and taking a much needed road
trip before the summer is over! Before heading out, the experts at Toyota
of Orlando have assembled some tips to know so you have one less thing to worry
about during your road trip!
Make your car road trip ready
Before taking your car out for a long drive, Toyota of
Orlando has a few vacation
car maintenance tips for you to know. These will make sure that you vehicle
is ready to hit the road and not give you any issues while you drive.
Tip #1: Make sure your oil is checked – It’s incredibly
important to get your oil checked before heading out on your road trip this
summer. Since you’ll be driving further than your car is used to, you want to
make sure the engine is in the best shape that it can be. Our auto service
techs will let you know if your vehicle is due for an oil change after giving
it a multi-point inspection.
Tip #2: Inspect your tires – You more than likely don’t want
to get a flat tire when you’re on the road. That would be an extreme waste of
time, and money, since you’ll have to buy a replacement! Make sure you get your
Toyota
tires checked ahead of time to see if any service needs to be done. Our
service center can perform services like tire rotation, tire changes, tire
balancing, and more.
Tip #3: Check your A/C system – It’s pretty hot no matter
where you decide to drive this summer. While on a road trip, nothing will get
people more agitated than having to sit in a confined space without any cold
air! Our Orlando team can make sure that your air conditioning system is fully
functional inside of your vehicle. If not, we’ll recommend services and parts
to increase your air flow.
Tip #4: Don’t forget brake service – Something that
sometimes gets overlooked until it’s too late is break maintenance. Toyota of
Orlando suggests making sure to get your brakes checked at the first signs of
wear and tear. You don’t want to drive around with a worn brake pad for too
long. It could cause more expensive repairs on your rotors later down the line,
and it actually increases your risk of getting into an accident. That can be
especially said on roads you don’t know and weather you aren’t prepared for.
