Well Toyota of Clermont wants to help, so we have pulled together the five most important road trip maintenance tips you can do now in order to have one less thing to check off your holiday list.
Toyota of Clermont’s favorite holiday maintenance tips
Tip #1: Tires
Your tire health is incredibly important to your safety and is an essential element to your road trip maintenance checklist. Bring your ride into our Clermont Toyota service center to have our experienced technicians make sure your tires get the proper care they need. It’s important to get your tires rotated regularly, as well as ensure the air pressure is topped off and treads are in acceptable shape. Our techs would also be happy to check your wheel alignment while they’re at it.
Tip #2: Wipers
We all know the weather can be incredibly unpredictable this time of year. In order to keep yourself, your family, and others safe on the roads, make sure your wiper fluid is topped off and ensure your wiper blades get replaced if they’re worn out. Let’s keep your windshield obstruction free.
Tip #3: Oil/Filters
Getting an oil change and filter replacement should be part of your regular maintenance routine, so consider just getting these checked and taken care of during your holiday maintenance appointment. It may save you time and you’ll start off your road trip with piece of mind that your car is in good working order.
Tip #4: Brakes
Also part of your regular car check-ups, your car braking system is an important part of your road trip maintenance. It is essential to make sure you have good rotors and brake pads to bring your ride to a safe stop. Check in with Toyota of Clermont’s service techs to have them ensure your brakes are in good working order to keep you safe on your travels.
Tip #5: Cleanliness
Keeping your car clean inside and out is important for keeping your car looking good for years to come. Before your holiday drive, get a nice exterior wash and wax to prevent any paint damage─especially if you are planning on driving somewhere with snow and road salt. Cleaning the inside of your vehicle will help to enable you and your passengers to have a comfortable ride─especially on those longer journeys. Pro tip: leave a bag in your car dedicated collecting trash as you go.
