It’s never too early to start thinking
about a road trip, especially now that summer is approaching. When
driving long distances, you need to make sure your vehicle is
fully-functioning. Preventative maintenance can help you avoid an
unanticipated breakdown and costly repairs during your vacation.
When you need to get your vehicle ready to hit the road, give

Check the Oil
Check when your engine’s oil was last
changed. It’s common to go between 3,000 and 5,000 miles between oil
changes, but check your owner’s manual for specifics. Because older
vehicles use oil at a faster rate than newer models, topping off the
oil before a long drive is advised. Our oil changes at Wolf
Motorsports include the replacement of synthetic or traditional oil,
a new filter, and a multi-point inspection to rule out any potential
issues.
Change Fluids
Inspect the transmission, brakes,
differential, coolant, and power steering fluid in addition to the
oil. Dirty fluids in your vehicle may cause it to lose efficiency
over time. Despite the fact that they don’t need to be changed as
frequently as oil, they should be checked before a long trip.
Get AC Repair
When you’re stuck in a traffic jam
without air conditioning, the summer heat can be downright
unpleasant. A car’s air conditioner keeps the cabin cool while
reducing humidity. Have your air conditioner checked if you smell a
musty odor emanating from the vents or if it isn’t blowing cool air.
It could be an issue with the cooling system, which is also
responsible for keeping the engine cool.
