Have your vehicle inspected, if possible at least two weeks before you are ready to leave. This will help you to avoid last minute problems. Take phone numbers and insurance papers. Remember to keep your fuel tank full whenever possible. This will help avoid vapor lock during hot weather driving. Remember to take any necessary maps. Pack extra snacks and drinks in case of unexpected delays. Pack a flashlight with fresh batteries, glass cleaner, paper towels, and extra oil (know your brand of oil to avoid mixing brands). Lock you car at all stops. Hide an extra set of keys on your vehicle. There´s nothing more frustrating than locking your keys in you car in unfamiliar territory. Make reservations ahead of time, especially during the summer months and holidays. If you are leaving the U.S.A. it is a good idea to have notarized birth certificates for children. Make sure you know where your locking lug nut key, socket wrench and/or hub cap key are located. If it is getting close to time to rotate your tires, make sure and do it before you leave. Check tire pressure too. Check you oil at least every other time you fill your gas tank and visually inspect everything under the hood. Do not use your cruise control during rainy weather. Wet roads increase your chance of hydroplaning. Should you experience vehicle problems on your trip, the first place to call is A Street Automotive & Collision.
