GETTING YOUR VEHICLE ROAD TRIP READY

“So bye-bye, Miss American Pie.
Drove my Chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, “this’ll be the day that I die.”

Ah, the classic and quintessential road trip, there’s nothing quite as synonymous than summer and a road trip, well maybe America and Chevy! While certain things probably pop in your mind when it comes to a road trip, your companions, snacks, the perfect playlist (American Pie is one of them!) there is something even more essential, getting your vehicle serviced. Whether you are planning on hitting the road across the country or finding out how far a tank of gas can you closer to home, an unexpected surprise with your vehicle can seriously derail your plans and make for a memorable trip in a bad way. The Certified Service Technicians at Hawkins Chevrolet will perform a pre-trip check-up of your vehicle’s most important systems to ensure you are ready to hit the road without worries. When it comes to servicing your vehicle before a trip, here are just a few of the many essential things that will be covered:

● Battery life
● Tire alignment, pressure, and rotation
● Fluid levels and top-off
● Overall drivability
● Brake inspection including pads
● Windshield wiper check
● Leaks
