Holiday Traveling Tips

If you or your family are planning to go “over the river and through the woods” this holiday season, you should have your car professionally checked first.

Millions of people take to the highway to visit family and friends over the holidays. If you are planning a trip here are a few tips to remember.

  • Well before the trip have a Courtesy Inspection performed by a trained technician. Break downs a long way from home can ruin even the best of holiday spirits. A trained technician can often spot potential trouble before it happens.
  • Take plenty of breaks along the way and don’t drive when tired.
  • If you are traveling with children, remember to provide them with snacks and games to keep them busy. Maybe leave in the middle of the night so they sleep through the major part of the trip. Keep a sense of humor and take deep breaths when needed.
  • Plan out your route ahead of time. Allow extra time for weather and unexpected traffic tie-ups.
