Is your car road trip ready?
School’s out for summer! I hope you are planning a memorable vacation for the family! A family can discover a new place together and bond over the adventure. I know I have so many wonderful memories of different vacations with my family. My favorite was a road trip to the Grand Canyon with my annoying brother in the back seat next to me.
You have probably noticed a side effect of the pandemic has been a big increase in traveling this beautiful country of ours by road. Maybe because the journey can be as great as the destination. It is more likely due to a desire to avoid the airports plus it’s just simply cheaper.
A road trip is a great way to make those family memories to last a lifetime. There are so many places to see on the way to your choice venue or multiple venues, maybe even grandma’s house too.
While you are booking your hotel, route, park tickets, and worth a visit stops, let Muffler City Auto Repair ensure that your ride is ready for the trip. We can help you make sure that car trouble will not mess up your timeline or memories. What can be worse than spending the amusement park money on a necessary repair that could have been avoided?

There are 10 points to address when preparing your vehicle for that vacation road trip.
Request that all the fluids are checked and filled if necessary. Also, check the lines for any leaks.
2. Check engine coolant and hose to avoid engine overheating.
3. Brakes need to be checked including brake pads and lines. Make sure to mention if you have heard any noises when using the brakes.
4. Have your tires checked and rotated.
5. Test the battery and replace if needed. No one has time for a dead battery!
6. Rubber exposed to so much heat can eventually become brittle and break. Have all the belts and hoses checked.
7. Muffler City does A/C checks and can fill refrigerant too.
8. Check the condition of your wiper blades.
9. Clean all the windows and mirrors. We can fix your windows if they don’t work.
10. Replace any light bulbs and make sure the blinkers are working too.
I’m so looking forward to our family road trip and wish you a fun filled trip too!
