Thanksgiving can be a stressful time to travel with all that traffic and unpredictable weather. More travelers will be on the roads this year than in the previous 12+ years according to AAA. Even though you can't control the traffic or the weather, you can make sure your vehicle is ready for your trip.
To make sure your vehicle is ready for all the holiday traveling, check these items before your trip:
- Brake system
- Make sure battery connection is clean, tight, and corrosion free
- All filters and fluids such as oil, power steering, brake, transmission, windshield washer, and antifreeze/coolant
- Check windshield wipers, heaters and defrosters to ensure they are all working properly
- As a general rule, windshield wipers should be replaced every six months
- All hoses and belts
- Tire pressure and tread of your tires
- All interior and exterior lighting, especially headlights, taillights, brake lights, and directionals
Checking your vehicle before your holiday traveling will help keep you safe on the road, and get you to your Thanksgiving feast.
