Vehicle Maintenance for Traveling
Vehicle Maintenance for Traveling
Summer is the ideal time for lengthy road trips and traveling, and we at Roadsport Chrysler are committed to helping you enjoy your adventures to the fullest, no matter which model from our inventory you drive. To ensure optimal safety and enjoyment on your next road trip, feel free to consult our vehicle maintenance tips below, and contact us in Scarborough, Ontario today to get your car in top shape for the season with a service appointment.
Inspection
Proper vehicle maintenance begins with a thorough inspection both inside and out. Remember to check your outside mirrors, trunk, and lighting systems, look under your vehicle for any fluid leaks, and don't forget to test your car's interior systems, including windows, and ventilation.
Fluid Checks
Your vehicle's performance depends greatly on its many fluids, from engine oil to brake fluid to coolant. You can check most of your fluid levels yourself, but if anything needs replenishing or if you've spotted any leaks or ruptured hoses, we recommend leaving your vehicle to our Service Centre's technicians for the needed repairs, flushes, and refills.
Tire Check
Monthly tire checks are always recommended, and they're especially important before embarking on a long road trip to avoid being stranded with a flat in a remote area. Remember to keep your pressure gauge handy in your glove compartment and inflate your tires to the recommended PSI levels at your nearest filling station before you hit the road.
Tire Rotation
No matter your car's drivetrain, tire rotation is integral to its performance, as it ensures that your tires will wear out evenly over time. This important service not only prolongs your tires' lifespan, it also enhances your vehicle's performance, handling, and fuel economy, so you can enjoy an ideal ride throughout your summer trip. We recommend booking a rotation at our Service Centre before your next adventure and twice a year overall.
We can do more than help you get ready for an unforgettable road trip, as we help every driver enjoy a stress-free purchase with flexible terms while saving more on their dream model by selling us any trade-ins.
