How to Prepare a Car for a Road Trip

There are many things to consider when preparing for a road trip. You can check routine Chevy maintenance items on your own, or simply visit our Hazle Township Chevrolet service center for Silverado repairs or Equinox brake service near Scranton. Just let us know you're planning a trip in the near future, and we'll make sure your vehicle is road trip ready. Things that we look out for on our road trip checklist include:

  • Full-synthetic oil change
  • Replace engine or cabin air filter
  • Fresh windshield wiper blades
  • Battery test and/or replacement
  • Top off fluids
  • Inspect belts and hoses
  • Check tire tread
  • Replace burnt-out lights

Can I Take a High-Mileage Car on a Road Trip?

If you've been keeping up with routine car maintenance and your vehicle is in good mechanical condition, then you can certainly take your high-mileage car on a long road trip. As long as your vehicle runs well and is up to date on its Chevy service intervals, the mileage shouldn't affect your car's readiness for a road trip in New England and beyond. Visit our local Chevy dealer in Pennsylvania if you have any other questions about your high-mileage car and take advantage of our Chevrolet service specials!

Additional Road Trip Advice

Before you step on the gas, make sure to check all four tires for any cuts or gauges and check tire pressure. Our Chevy service team also recommends listening to the brakes for any odd noises and replacing wiper blades and replenishing windshield cleaner if necessary.
