Holiday Travel Tips: Keeping Your Car Safe and Reliable

1. Check the basics: Before heading out, be sure to check your car's fluid levels (oil, coolant, brake fluid, etc.), tire pressure, and battery. If any of these are low or depleted, top them up or replace as needed.

2. Inspect your tires: Make sure your tires have enough tread and are inflated to the proper pressure. Consider switching to winter tires if you'll be traveling through snowy or icy conditions.

3. Don't overlook the brakes: Have your brakes inspected to ensure they're in good working order. If you notice any unusual noises or vibrations when braking, have them checked by a professional.

4. Pack an emergency kit: Be prepared for any unexpected roadside situations by packing an emergency kit with essentials like a flashlight, jumper cables, first aid supplies, and a spare tire.

5. Plan your route: Before you leave, map out your route and check for any construction or road closures that may affect your travel plans. Consider downloading a navigation app for real-time updates.

6. Drive cautiously: Practice safe driving habits by obeying speed limits, avoiding distractions, and giving yourself plenty of time to reach your destination. Be especially cautious in inclement weather conditions.

7. Schedule a maintenance check: If your car is due for a maintenance check, it's best to have it done before embarking on a long road trip. This can help prevent potential breakdowns while on the road. Book Online or call 0344 649 9923 to book your car in today. Struggling to find a time? Book Sandicliffes mobile servicing van today!
