Road Ready (Trip Inspection)

Posted June 11, 2023 10:32 AM

Maybe you've been cooped up for a while and are yearning for a change of scenery.  Or maybe you need to visit a relative who lives far away.  You choose not to fork out the big bucks for airline tickets, so it's time for a road trip.  Make sure you're road ready by having your vehicle professionally inspected before the big drive.

One of our technicians can check out several of your vehicle's most important systems so you can be more confident that you'll be able to go the distance without a breakdown.  Here are a few things a trip inspection may include:

Your vehicle stops with brakes that, in turn, stop the tires.  They must both be in sound condition. The technician can look at your tire tread, the condition of the sidewalls, and note the tires' age.  Brakes have pads and rotors that should meet certain specs, so an expert inspection of their condition is important, too.

A technician can check other vital fluids such as engine coolant, power steering, transmission, and windshield washer fluid. Your wipers must be in good condition so you can see, and they're often one of the most neglected parts of a vehicle. 

Your headlights must work correctly and be aimed properly so you can see and so that you're not blinding oncoming drivers. They're powered by your battery, and a technician will check how old yours is and how well it holds a charge, all important for reliable starting. 

For cabin comfort, your climate control system needs to work correctly, which means both heat and air conditioning.  If things need to be repaired - before the trip will be a lot more convenient than trying to do it while you're traveling.

The technician can inspect hoses and belts, two things that frequently fail on a long trip.  And the big advantage of having a pro look over your vehicle is that they not only know what to look for but also can make the repairs the right way.  Now that's the ticket to being road ready.

I was driving to see my dad for Father’s Day yesterday. Got on 78 and my car started jerking and loosing steam. It was 4:15pm about 45 mins before the shop closed, they took a look at my car and were able to fix it by 6pm so I was able to drive my car back home that day- it was amazing! So thankful they were able to help me out or else I would have to miss work Monday as no shops are open Sunday’s. Thanks again!!

We have been using Long Hill Auto Service for over 20 years and Bob the owner and his staff are the best in the business. Not only are his mechanics superior if you need a loaner care Bob will have one for you. Any time I've called I don't think the phone rang more then twice before someone picked up the phone ready to help. I usually will keep a car for a good 10 years and that's because the mechanics there do the job right the first time and I have peace of mind knowing my cars are in good hands
