Don’t feel guilty if you’re not regularly having your car checked out or maintained. But before going on a road trip, some general car maintenance is recommended as AAA estimates 3.5 million drivers will end up having to tow their car for repairs during the summer.
If it’s almost time for a scheduled maintenance, have it conducted before going on your trip. Make sure you’ve had an oil change during the recommended intervals and have your vehicle inspected by a qualified technician or even your local dealership’s service department. Also make sure that you have no outstanding recalls that could make your vehicle dangerous to yourself and your family.
