Summer is the perfect time to hit the road and explore new destinations. Before embarking on your next adventure, it's important to make sure your Toyota is prepared for the journey ahead. By getting your vehicle road trip ready, you can have peace of mind and focus on making amazing memories this summer.
At Fred Beans Toyota of Flemington, we recommend bringing your Toyota in for a thorough inspection before any long road trips. Our certified technicians will examine all major components to identify any potential issues that could disrupt your travel plans. If you live in the Flemington area, feel free to schedule summer service and check out our monthly specials.
Here are some of the key maintenance items to take care of prior to your summer road trip:
- Oil and filter change to keep your engine running smoothly
- Tire rotation to prevent uneven wear and extend tire life
- Brake check to ensure your vehicle can stop safely
- Battery test to avoid an unexpected dead battery
- Fluid top-off for coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid and windshield washer fluid
- Air conditioning check to stay cool and comfortable in summer temperatures
Once your Toyota is serviced and ready to go, don't forget to pack some road trip essentials. Make sure you have plenty of snacks and drinks, a first-aid kit, phone chargers, and maps or a GPS in case you lose cell signal. If you realize you need more cargo space for all your gear, browse our new inventory of spacious Toyota models.
Before departing Bridgewater, do a final walk-around to check that your luggage is secure and all doors are locked. Then hit the highway and enjoy the ride! There's nothing like cruising with the windows down on a beautiful summer day.
If your travels take you through New Hope, Somerville, or Princeton, wave hello as you drive by! We hope you have a wonderful, safe road trip in your well-maintained Toyota. Remember that our service center is here to get your car in top shape before you embark on your summer adventures. Happy travels!
