Summer Trip Tips by Broadway Import Auto Service of Portland

6 Summer Trip Tips

Summer Trip Tips by Broadway Import Auto Service of Portland

With vacations coming and going, we'd like to pass on a few tips to help your vacation running smoothly.

1) Check your tires

Make sure they are in need of replacing, and if they are get them replaced before your trip. Not only are worn tires hard on your car and gas mileage, but they can be dangerous too.

2) Check your tire's air pressure

Along with point one, low air pressure costs you fuel efficiency and puts more wear on your tires.

3) Rotate your tires

An often overlooked maintenance job, in an ideal world your tires wear down evenly. In reality each tire wears down in different spots and at different rates than the others do. By rotating them you can distribute the wear more evenly and sometimes lengthen the life of your tires.

4) Change your oil

Clean oil lengthens your engine life, dirty oil shortens it.

5) Check your fluids

You don't want your engine overheating nor do you want your brakes to fail while you're out-and-about. Simple fluid checks before your trip can save you time, money, and aggravation.

6) Check your tune-up schedule

If it's time for your tuneup, get it done before your trip if possible. While on vacation you don't want to work any harder than you need to, why should your engine?
