Article Written By: Mitch Harmatz

Whatever your dream vacation is, don t let it turn into a nightmare because of a breakdown. Have your car inspected by the San Pedro automotive experts before you hit the road to make sure your vehicle is safe for a road trip.

The 40-Point Safety Inspection:

An inspection of all of your vehicle s major systems is critical to keeping you safe on your vacation. That s why the San Pedro automotive pros provide a comprehensive 40-point safety inspection to avoid problems before they happen. A little maintenance before a trip can prevent a big blowout in the middle of one.

Engine system

Battery

Air conditioning health

Fluids

Filters

Brakes

Tires

Alignment

Suspension

Lights

Windshield wipers

The list goes on and on. Your technicians take the time to make sure your vehicle is not only safe, but also operating at its peak performance so you can enjoy your summer road trip without the slightest worry of car trouble.

If you want to do some basic check-ups on your own, don t forget to:

- Check the engine oil and transmission fluid. How long has it been since you had your oil changed or transmission flushed? If you re not sure, see the San Pedro automotive service professionals to help get you prepared for your trip.

- Change the air filter if it hasn t been changed recently.

- Check the power steering fluid, brake fluid, and windshield washer reservoir.

- Inspect the tires. Poorly inflated and/or worn tires can quickly ruin your trip. Inflate the tires, including the spare, to the manufacturer s suggested tire pressure. If your tires show uneven wear, you have an alignment problem that can cause your car to skid at high speeds on the interstate. If you feel any vibration at cruising speed, it s time to have your tires balanced. In any case, the San Pedro automotive and tire specialists can quickly adjust your alignment or balance your tires.

Check to see whether the jack is in properly working condition in case of a flat tire.

- Make sure you have a first aid kit, a flashlight, and extra water.
