Stress-free road trips<br />
The glorious days of summer and<br />
rising temperatures are here; it’s the<br />
perfect time to plan an exciting summer<br />
road trip. Whether heading to the beach<br />
or lakes, camping or spending time at<br />
the bach, proper preparation is key to<br />
ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey.<br />
To make the most of your summer road<br />
trip and save money, visit Jones Road<br />
Auto at 131 Iport Drive, Rolleston, for<br />
expert advice and services.<br />
Vehicle Check-Up: Ensure your<br />
vehicle is in tip-top condition before<br />
hitting the road and avoid a breakdown.<br />
Preventative maintenance can save<br />
money by dealing with minor issues<br />
before they become more serious and<br />
ensuring better fuel efficiency. Schedule<br />
a comprehensive check-up at Jones Road<br />
Auto, where skilled technicians can<br />
inspect your car’s essential components,<br />
such as brakes, tyres, fluid levels, and<br />
battery health.<br />
Fluid Checks and Changes: During the<br />
hotter days of summer, your car’s engine<br />
and cooling system will work harder.<br />
Ensure all essential fluids, including oil,<br />
coolant, and brake fluid, are optimal.<br />
Check your cooling systems are working<br />
correctly, as windy roads can easily cause<br />
the car’s cooling system to overheat.<br />
Tyre Care: Keep everyone safe with<br />
proper tyre maintenance. Have your<br />
tyres inspected, rotated, and properly<br />
inflated to prevent blowouts and ensure<br />
even wear and a smoother ride. Underinflated<br />
tyres use more fuel, costing more<br />
money. Also, check your spare tyre is in<br />
good condition and that you have the<br />
necessary tyre-changing tools.<br />
Towing: If intending to tow a trailer,<br />
boat or caravan, check the wheel<br />
bearings to ensure they’re not loose or<br />
noisy. Check all lights and indicators are<br />
working correctly and that couplings are<br />
adequate. Remember to carry a spare tyre<br />
for the towed vehicle.<br />
EV Vehicles: EVs still require some<br />
maintenance and servicing, including<br />
checks on tyres, batteries, suspension,<br />
and brakes, so have your vehicle serviced<br />
before going on a road trip. Plan your<br />
trip around public charging points and<br />
download apps to ensure you don’t find<br />
yourself stranded somewhere without a<br />
charge. Be aware that your mileage can<br />
be affected by using the air con, cold<br />
weather, speed, rapid acceleration or<br />
deceleration, etc.<br />
Emergency Kit: Be prepared for<br />
unexpected situations. Have an<br />
emergency kit with essentials like a first<br />
aid kit, torch, jumper cables, and basic<br />
tools.<br />
A well-maintained vehicle is the<br />
key to a memorable and stress-free<br />
road trip experience. Before starting<br />
your road trip, visit Jones Road<br />
Auto, 131 Iport Drive, Rolleston,<br />
for a comprehensive vehicle check,<br />
professional care and expert advice.<br />
The team at Jones Road Auto thank their<br />
customers for their wonderful support<br />
throughout the year and wish them a safe,<br />
happy, and fun-filled Christmas and New<br />
Year.<br />
