How to Prepare Your Car for Long Distance Driving

Well, it's that time where Summer gets ready to leave and take the beautiful weather with it. But don't despairin this post, Green Spring Tractor has some tips about how you can prepare your car to squeeze in one more summer road trip.

Prevent Your Car From Overheating

It's no secret that the most common and frustrating breakdowns are caused from overheating, so don't let it get the better of you. Thoroughly check your fluid levels including water, oil, cleaning liquids, and lubricants to ensure that your car has what it needs to stay cool. If you are looking to drive over long distances, or perhaps in a hot climate, consider adding a coolant to your engine to help keep temperatures down and you and friends moving.

Has Your Battery Seen Better Days?

It's the middle of the night, you and your friends stop for a brief rest along the freeway, and then you realise your car won't start again. Dead battery. Don't let this simple problem catch you off-guard. Take the time to inspect the condition of your car battery and, if necessary, replace it before you head off. Remember, on top of your headlamps and turn signals, your car needs to power your gadgets that keep you and your friends connected and entertained.

Just Five More Minutes!!!

Besides the elusive 'early bird', nobody likes to get up early, however when embarking on a lengthy road trip starting early is key. While other motorists are sleeping, you and your friends can take advantage of the clear roads, giving your travel time a nice reduction. If the idea seems too daunting, remember that you can always stop before you hit the freeway for coffee and a bagel to help make the trip bearable.
