Winter is the season for travel to see family and friends. Being prepared is important to ensure your trip goes as smoothly as possible. From a pre-trip inspection for ensuring your vehicle is ready to hit the road, to being prepared for the unexpected during your travel, the team at Eagle Tire & Automotive has outlined some important steps to take to before you hit the road.

Inspect Your Spare Tire

Always check your spare tire to ensure that it is in good condition and properly inflated. Over time tires can deflate and with this being stored away in your vehicle it may be overlooked as one of the important pieces to check before you begin your travel.

Add A Roadside Emergency Kit

Add a roadside-ready kit to your vehicle so you are prepared for the unexpected. These are very cost-efficient and many versions can be found on Amazon or at your local big-box stores such as Walmart or Cosco. These kits normally contain jumper cables, road flares, and other essentials in the event that your vehicle experiences issues during your travels.

We hope that you have fun this winter on your travels and that you will allow our team to help keep you on the road.
