Tips for your winter road trip

 

Halloween is almost here, which means the holidays are about to really kick off. Will you be hitting the highway to celebrate with friends and family? If so, it's critical to ensure that your Orlando Toyota is prepared for the journey. Luckily, our Toyota service center at Toyota of Orlando is here to help you take on the open road like a pro.

Which auto service appointments should you schedule before a road trip? 

Before you go on your road trip, there are certain service appointments you should consider scheduling. Here are the top ones to think about putting on the books before the holidays arrive. 

1. Tire service: Before you hit the open highway for the holidays, you'll need to ensure your tires are up to the task. They should be properly inflated to the right PSI as well as have enough tread to grip the road. On top of that, our Orlando auto service techs should visually inspect each tire to ensure they're in good enough condition to handle high speeds and long distances during your road trip. 

2. Oil change: Oil is crucial for keeping your car's engine cool and lubricated, especially when you're driving for long periods of time at high speeds. Make sure you schedule an Orlando oil change before you take off so you don't run the risk of engine damage during your road trip. 

3. Brake service: You always want braking power on your side, but especially if you're driving through inclement weather like rain, snow, or sleet. Brake service at Toyota of Orlando will ensure your brakes are in top shape to take on any road conditions.

4. Headlight check: Make sure ALL lights on your vehicle are working before you take off on your road trip. This means headlights, taillights, turn signals, hazard lights, and all interior lights, including your dash lights. Our techs can replace burnt out bulbs and fix any lighting issues you have. 

5. A/C and heater service: The last thing you want is to be stuck without a working heater in winter weather. Check your A/C, heater, and defroster NOW before you start your road trip and ensure all three are working properly and well. 

6. Car detailing: No one wants to hit the highway in a dirty car. Schedule car detailing before you leave so your ride is fresh and clean for the start of your holiday road trip
