As you prepare your child for a new school year, you must ensure your vehicles are ready for the journey.
1. Oil Change
Before hitting the road this school year, ensuring your car has had an oil change is important. Regular oil changes help extend your engine's life and increase your gas mileage.
2. Tire Maintenance
Check your tire pressure, including your spare tire, and ensure they're properly inflated. Uneven tire wear and low pressure can lead to poor handling, decreased gas mileage, and even blowouts. Inspect the tire tread to see if it's worn down, and check your brakes.
3. Emergency Supplies
Preparing an emergency kit for your car is important in case something unexpected happens on the road. Your kit should include jumper cables, a spare tire, a flashlight, first-aid supplies, and a basic tool kit.
4. Clean the Car
A cluttered car can lead to distractions while driving, so eliminate unnecessary items. You should also clean the exterior and interior of your car, especially the windows. Dirty windows can impair your vision while driving. Check out our inventory at Action Auto in Sidney, MT today.
