This July 4 holiday is going to be a big one. After a global pandemic all but canceled last year’s festivities, people are anxious to get back out there and celebrate America’s birthday the way they always have – with fireworks, apple pie, picnics, and all the other great stuff that comes with this midsummer holiday. And with those festivities comes a lot of car travel. No matter if you are driving down the street for a neighborhood picnic or across the country for a family gathering, you want to make sure your car can handle the trip. That’s why a pre-holiday car check-up from LP & Sons Auto Care in DeLand, FL, might be just what the doctor ordered.
Brakes
Before you kick off the holiday, you’re going to want to make sure your brakes are working as they should. As the most important safety feature in your car, your brakes need to be in tip-top shape before you hit the road. LP & Sons Auto Care will check your entire braking system from top to bottom, making sure everything from the rotors to the calipers is operating at peak performance.
Tires
Literally where the rubber meets the road, the tires on your car need to be in great shape before you undertake any kind of holiday travel. Checking the tire pressure and tread health is something you can do on your own with a tire gauge and a penny (place the penny between the tire treads – if you can see the top of Honest Abe’s head, you probably need new tires). But if you’ve got a slow leak or damage, you’ll want to get that taken care of before the holiday. Can you imagine having to change a tire or wait for a tow after a fireworks show?
Auto AC
This one might not be as obvious as the brakes or tires, but having your auto AC inspected before the holiday is probably a good idea. It’s going to be hot this July 4, and neither you nor your passengers want to bake in a hot car. Even if you feel like your auto AC isn’t as blowing as cold as it used to, we can inspect your system, top off your refrigerant, and check for leaks to make sure the inside of your vehicle is as comfortable as possible.
LP & Sons Auto Care in DeLand, FL, wants everyone to be safe this holiday weekend. And that safety begins with making sure your vehicle is in good working order. A pre-holiday car check-up might be exactly what you need to provide peace of mind before you hit the road. Make an appointment today!
