A road trip can put a lot of pressure on your vehicle, so you’ll want to make sure that it’s in top shape before you pack up the trunk with snacks, luggage, and other supplies. The Hyundai service center here at Hyundai of Cookeville can take care of all of your maintenance and repair needs before you go. Here are some of the parts we’ll want to take a look at.
Tires
Your tires offer the traction you need to stay safe on the road. We’ll check your tires for damage and low tread, so that you can be sure that all four are ready for a long trip. It’s also a good idea to check the condition of your spare tire. Is it inflated? Do you have the jack and tire iron safely stowed away? Preparing for a flat can be the difference between a ruined trip and a mild inconvenience.
The Battery
Without a working battery, your car won’t start up. You don’t want to be stranded somewhere new with a car that can’t go anywhere. We’ll check to make sure that your battery can hold a charge and that it’s not due for a replacement.
Headlights
If you’re going to be driving at night, you need to be sure that your headlights are in top shape. Cloudy lenses can affect your visibility and a burned out bulb can be an even bigger danger.
The Oil
If you’re overdue for an oil change, that road trip could end up being quite taxing on your engine. Fresh oil will keep everything running smoothly.
Other Fluids
While we’re changing the oil we can check to make sure that you have the other fluids that your car needs to operate safely. We’ll check brake fluid, transmission fluid, and coolant levels, and we’ll refill any that are low.
Filters
Some filters protect your engine from damage while others affect air quality inside of the car. You’ll want all of these filters to be in good shape before a long trip. If any filter needs to be replaced, our Hyundai dealership in Cookeville, TN will have the Hyundai parts you need.
