The holidays are the perfect time for a fun family road trip adventure! Before you hit the highway, Sangster Motors in Wenatchee, WA, has some helpful tips to ensure your travels are safe and worry-free.
1. Give Your Vehicle a Safety Check
Don't let preventable car trouble derail your holiday plans. Before you hit the road:
- Check the air pressure in your tires, including the spare
- Top off fluid levels like oil, coolant, and wiper fluid
- Test your brakes and replace any burnt-out lights
- Pack an emergency kit with jumper cables, flashlight, first-aid essentials, and more
2. Drive Smart in Winter Weather
Roads can get slick and visibility low in rough winter weather. Stay alert, slow down, and leave extra following distance in snow or rain. Take breaks if you feel tired, and have a backup driver to be safe.
3. Keep Passengers Comfy and Entertained
Avoid backseat boredom and crankiness by bringing snacks, music, audiobooks, travel games, and other fun activities for the road. Let each person pack a pillow and blanket to nap or relax in comfort.
From all of us at Sangster Motors, we wish you happy and safe holiday travels. Visit our Wenatchee dealership for any tune-ups or travel essentials before your trip.
