Get Road Trip Ready with Fisk Automotive
Are you planning to hit the road this season? Whether you're cruising up the California coast, heading out to the desert, or taking a weekend getaway to the mountains, making sure your car is road-trip ready is essential for a safe and stress-free adventure. At Fisk Automotive, we help drivers prepare for road trips with thorough inspections and expert maintenance so that you can focus on the fun, not unexpected car trouble.
Why Pre-Trip Maintenance Matters
Even short road trips can put extra stress on your vehicle. Long hours on the road, higher speeds, and changes in elevation and temperature all add up. Catching small issues before you go can prevent breakdowns, costly repairs, or delays on your journey.
Road Trip Readiness Checklist
Here’s what we recommend checking before you leave:
Fluids & Filters
Oil, coolant, brake fluid, windshield washer fluid—your car depends on these to perform. If it has been a while since your last service, we will top off or replace what’s needed.
Brakes
No squeaks, grinding, or vibrations allowed on your vacation! We’ll inspect your brake pads, rotors, and brake fluid to ensure your stopping power is solid.
Tires
We’ll check for proper tire pressure, tread depth, and signs of uneven wear. We can also rotate your tires or recommend replacements to keep you safe on long drives.
Battery & Charging System
Extreme temperatures and long drives can test a weak battery. We’ll test the battery and inspect the charging system to make sure it’s ready for the journey ahead.
Cooling System & Hoses
Overheating can quickly become a major issue on long drives. We’ll check coolant levels, inspect the radiator, and look for cracks or leaks in your hoses.
Belts
Worn or loose belts can lead to engine trouble or breakdowns. We'll inspect all drive belts for signs of fraying, cracking, or wear.
AC & Cabin Comfort
Nothing ruins a road trip faster than a failing air conditioner. We offer AC car repair services to ensure you stay cool and comfortable.
Lights & Wipers
Visibility is everything, especially on unfamiliar roads. We’ll make sure all lights and wiper blades are working perfectly.
