Road Trip Checklist

Get These Repairs Done Before Your Next Trip

With summer approaching and road trip season upon us, it’s a great time to check in with your vehicle and tend to any repairs it might need. To help our drivers prepare for the road ahead, Austin’s Pro Max has compiled a list of common items that need seasonal repair. Visit our shop in Puyallup, Washington before your next road trip to cross these off of your checklist!

Seasonal Auto Repairs

1. Replace Windshield Wiper Blades - Rain is persistent year round here in the Pacific Northwest, which is why you need to check and replace windshield wiper blades regularly! With so much use throughout the year, they’ll inevitably wear out and end up doing more smearing than clearing.
2. Auto A/C Repair - No family vacation ever ended well after A/C failure. Avoid the stress and discomfort with quick service and repairs to fix any problems. Depending on where your travels take you, you may need a reliable heater, too! Make sure your car’s system is up for any sudden weather changes and hit the road in cool comfort!
3. Oil Change - If your vehicle is due or close to needing its next oil change, take care of it before getting on the road. It will control engine temperatures and lubricate parts!
4. Tire Check - Unless your idea of a vacation involves the unexpected fun of changing a flat on the side of the road, we recommend a tire pressure check and rotation prior to your next road trip. Our technicians will make sure inflation is up to standards for optimal fuel efficiency. If we notice any signs of wear, we’ll let you know!
