"A pre-trip check provides peace of mind, helping reduce the chance of costly car trouble and providing an opportunity to have any repairs performed by one's own trusted technician before hitting the road," said Rich White, executive director for the Car Care Council. "While no inspection can guarantee a car's performance, it's comforting to know proper precautions were taken to ensure a stress-free Thanksgiving road trip."
You should take a look at your fluid levels, and consider getting an oil change if you're about due or you notice any debris in the fluid. You'll also want to top off your coolant and windshield washer fluid if they're getting low. Grab a tire gauge and make sure there is enough air in your tires, inspect the windshield wipers and make sure your lights are all working properly. You should also have a mechanic, such as one of the experts at New Jersey Auto Auction's Total Car Care Center, perform an inspection of the hoses, belts and battery. The mechanic may be able to spot a potential problem and have it fixed up before your trip.
