Road Trip Auto Prep

By Susan Stern 

(Omaha, NE)  –  Ah yes. Mother’s Day & Memorial weekend are around the corner — the ideal time for families to hit the road! Before you do, Omaha automotive repair specialist John Stern recommends you have your vehicle checked by a professional technician. “Just as you would make a vacation packing list & trip itinerary, drivers should make a checklist for their vehicle before embarking on a road trip,” advises the owner of Sparks Computerized Car Care ™ in Omaha.

Consider reading through the following check list. If you answer ‘no’ to any question, you know what to do:

• Has the oil been changed 3,000-5,000 miles?
• Are the tires inflated to the right pressure?
• Are the tires in good shape?
• Are the wiper blades working well?
• Is the battery fresh & wires corrosion-free?
• Are the belts secure & not worn?
• Are the brakes quiet & working properly?
• Are any vehicle lights out?
• Is the gas cap on securely?
• Are you a member of a 24-hour Road Assistance plan?
• Is the sound system ramped up for the trip?

Okay. All joking aside about your stereo system. Seriously, if you could not give a resounding ‘yes’ to each of the above questions, then you should be proactive & do some – road trip auto prep – before hitting the road, Jack. That’s you. Of course, Sparks Computerized Car Care™ here in Omaha can help you get your vehicle – in tip top shape – so your family can have a safe vacation drive.

Prep Tips…Lost on the Road

By Susan Stern

(Omaha, NE)  –  For business or pleasure, vehicle road trips can be stressful when you get lost. Don’t fret.  Sparks Computerized Car Care™ Omaha NE is here to help you prepare your vehicle & yourself for vehicle trips to unfamiliar territory:

1. Carry a cell phone & charger
2. Carry a detailed map
3. Invest in a GPS system, or
4. Print out mapped directions from an internet service
5. Let family, friends & business associates know your itinerary & keep them posted during travel
6. Scour state road construction websites for up-to-date info
7. Invest in a 24-hour emergency road assistance membership
8. Keep alert & focused for signs & the like
9. Get plenty of sleep before embarking on road trips
10. Make sure you eat balanced foods & drink enough fluids for hydration

If you get confused, pull over the vehicle in a public place like a convenience store, restaurant or gas station. There, you can get purchase a map, or ask for directions. Regarding the latter, refrain from memorizing. Jot down directions. A rule of thumb is to read them back to the person giving instructions.

Getting from Point A to Point B when driving to unfamiliar territory can be vexing. But with a little pre-planning, you can do so with ease. Should you get lost, Sparks Computerized Car Care™ Omaha hopes you’ll now have the tools you need to get back-on-track safely.
