WESTLAND, Mich.,––Despite the great feeling of staying inside, being wrapped up like a burrito in a fuzzy blanket, and having Netflix on the TV, there are things to be done that require a little travel. Whether you're taking a shorter trip to a relatives house an hour away, or a grand trip out west to do some serious skiing/boarding, there are some things you should do to prepare. The cold weather and snowy roads can make it harder to travel, and there is a higher risk of accident, but some simple inspections and maintenance services can do the job to keep you and your passengers safe. See our winter road trip tips below, and let us know if there's any way we can help!
1. Inspect your tire's inflation level. If they don't meet the requirements on the sticker inside your driver's door, fill them up accordingly.
2. Make sure you have your spare tire ready to go & the proper supplies to change it if need be.
3. Check your oil. If it's low or looking dark and gritty, get it changed BEFORE you go. Even if it's good, you'll want to consider how many miles it has been since you've had it changed, and how many miles your trip will be.
4. Pack supplies for emergencies and bad weather:
-Extra gloves, hats, sock, and other warm clothing
-Hot packs for your hands or feet
-A flashlight & multi-tool
-An ice scraper and snow brush
-Jumper cables
-Extra windshield wiper fluid
-An extra cell phone charger
-Extra cash
5. Pack supplies for you and your passengers:
-Tissues and hand wipes or sanitizers
-A bag for trash
-A first aid kit & necessary medications
-Water, beverages, and snacks
-Extra charging cables
