Summer is the best time to explore new destinations on the open road. Before embarking on your adventure, ensuring your vehicle is prepared for the journey ahead is crucial.
At Toyota of Bedford, we want to help you prepare for your car road trip. Long trips can often cause more stress on your vehicle. That's why it's crucial to address any smaller issues before they become large problems. Here's a handy service checklist to ensure a safe and smooth summer drive.
Change Your Motor Oil and Filter
Fresh motor oil keeps your engine cool and lubricated during long drives in hot weather. Check your oil level and get an oil and filter change before your trip. We offer quick and easy conventional and synthetic oil and vehicle filter changes.
Top Off Vehicle Fluids
Check and refill your coolant, power steering, brake, and windshield washer fluids. Proper fluid levels help prevent overheating and maintain critical vehicle functions.
Test Your Battery
Have your battery charge tested, especially if it's a few years old. Weak or dying batteries can leave you stranded. Replace your battery if needed for peace of mind. We can test your battery's charge level and replace it with a new battery in no time.
Check All Lights
Test your headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, and interior lights. Replace any burnt-out bulbs to be seen on the road, day or night.
Inspect Tires and Get a Rotation
Check your tire pressure, tread depth, and overall condition. Properly inflated tires with good tread provide better handling, traction, and fuel efficiency. Consider getting a tire rotation to promote equal tire wear and use the same tires for longer.
