Are Inspections Necessary Before a Road Trip?


Whether you are planning to travel to see family over the holidays or go to a cabin for a winter getaway, your car should be in good shape to handle all hazardous conditions. Planning a road trip can be challenging and stressful, which is why we want to take a load off your hands. The team at Transmission Hero will gladly inspect your vehicle to ensure it is roadworthy for long drives.

A vehicle inspection is one of the best pre-trip measures that can help prevent unwanted breakdowns. Even if we don’t find anything wrong, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that. During a pre-trip check, our techs will carefully inspect all major safety components and systems to ensure they are in working condition. This includes the braking system, car battery, tires, lights, wipers, and fluids. We recommend having this service performed at least a week before a major trip to allow for extra time for repairs.

Either way, the team at Transmission Hero in Clay County always fixes problems quickly so you can be on schedule for your road adventures. Don’t wait until it is too late as we’ve seen customers being held back for the holidays from a last-minute car problem. Not to mention, you can face a breakdown on the road, which can lead to extra costs like towing.

This is the time of year when you shouldn’t have to deal with stress. You can avoid putting yourself and your loved ones in danger by simply dropping your vehicle off for a check-up. For a professional and quick pre-trip inspection, we welcome you to our auto repair shop today!
