As summer settles in, it’s important to keep your car serviced and updated before hitting the road for everyday travels, weekend road trips and vacations. We talked to Mason’s Üro Werks (formerly Prestige Auto Repair), the Cincinnati area’s premier independent European and Exotic car care specialists, about their pre-road trip service recommendations.
It’s helpful to start with a full vehicle inspection. Full vehicle inspections include checking fluid levels (oil, coolant, brake fluid), tire pressure and tread, brakes, lights and battery. If your car is due for an oil change, make sure you schedule one before your trip. Clean oil ensures optimal engine performance, especially on long trips.
Tire checks help to identify signs of wear or damage and ensure that tires are properly inflated. Make sure to include the spare tire in your inspection. Brake inspections are recommended in order to check for wear and to ensure brake fluid is at the proper level.
Not all preparations are mechanical, however. It’s important to assemble an emergency kit with essentials such as a first-aid kit, flashlight, jumper cables and basic tools. Make sure your kit is easily accessible, as you’ll need to acquire it swiftly in the case of an emergency.
If it's a long-distance trip you’re taking, it’s important to remember post-trip services as well. Recommended post-trip services include a fluid level check, tire and brake inspection, interior cleaning and scheduled maintenance. Keeping up on scheduled maintenance is especially important, as you may need to address needs that have arisen during the trip, such as unusual noises or handling issues. When inspecting tires, watch for any signs of wear or damage, as it’s easy to roll over small sharp objects during long-distance highway driving.
All of this can be done at Üro Werks, but standard maintenance is only part of why customers seek out this specialized mechanic. “We are not just maintaining vehicles. We are ensuring peace of mind and reliability for every journey,” owner Jay Edwards explains.
