Stay Safe on the Road This Holiday Season
Thanksgiving is a time for family, food, and making memories—but for many, it starts with a road trip. Whether you're traveling across town or across state lines, it’s essential to prepare your car for the journey ahead. We want to ensure you arrive safely and stress-free. Here are our top Thanksgiving travel tips to keep your holiday on track.
1. Get a Pre-Trip Inspection
Before you hit the road, schedule a check-up for your vehicle. A professional inspection can identify issues like low fluid levels, worn brakes, or weak batteries that could lead to breakdowns.
2. Check Your Tires
Properly inflated tires with good tread are critical for safety, especially if you encounter rain or snow. Don’t forget to inspect your spare tire, too!
3. Test Your Lights and Wipers
Shorter days and unpredictable weather mean you’ll need clear visibility. Make sure all lights are working and your windshield wipers are in good condition.
4. Pack an Emergency Kit
Be prepared with essentials like a flashlight, jumper cables, blankets, water, snacks, and a phone charger. It’s better to have them and not need them than the other way around.
5. Plan Your Route and Timing
Avoid peak travel times and use GPS apps to monitor traffic and weather. A little planning can save you hours of frustration.
