Leaving Grand Rapids MI? Learn More about Road Trip Maintenance
Summer is here, and drivers all across MI are ready to jump in the car for summer road trips. But before your big trip, remember that long-distance travel is demanding for a vehicle; Van Laar's Auto Service recommends that you perform a vehicle inspection before heading out.
According to AAA statistics, 8.7 million drivers will be left stranded on the roadside of summer 2011. Some of the most common road trip vehicle problems include spare tires, batteries and washer fluid. Checking all five tires for pressure and tread, properly cleaning battery corrosion and changing windshield wipers and washer fluid are all good ideas. Standard maintenance such as an oil change and an air filter replacement are also important. The repair professionals at Van Laar's Auto Service find and fix these problems on a daily basis, and you can be IN and OUT of our shop in no time!
