It is the dawn of a new year and time to celebrate the vacation. However, we recommend inspecting your car’s essentials to guarantee a safe and comfortable journey.
Here is a car checklist for the holiday season:
Car Maintenance
Engine oil helps in lubricating the engine parts and improves fuel efficiency. Always check the engine oil levels and quality of oil before a journey. Coolant helps prevent overheating of the engine. Brake fluid, steering fluid, and windshield washer liquid should be sufficient. You must test the battery for voltage, terminal corrosion, and weak connections. The tyres may be examined for pressure and tread depth. Keep a good spare tyre in the boot.
Car Safety
Ensure that the brakes are responsive and the braking distance is sufficient for the safety of the vehicle. Are all the headlights, indicators, brake lights, and parking lights glowing perfectly? If the wiper is not moving smoothly on the windshield, replace it. Check the functioning of the air conditioner—is cooling sufficient enough? Are there sounds or something unpleasant inside the cabin? Inspect the refrigerant gas levels and the working of important parts, and ensure the system is leak-free.
Car Detailing Services
During the winter season, a regular car wash alone is not sufficient to maintain the exteriors and interiors of your vehicle’s shine and polish. You may consider services such as ceramic coating, window tinting, wrapping, or upholstery cleaning.
Car Emergency Kit
Always keep a medical kit with plaster, antiseptic ointment, and dressing in the car. Basic tools such as lug wrenches, jacks, and screwdrivers help in car maintenance on the road. Jumper cables may be required for the jump-starting battery. Keep a flashlight.
