Twin Cities Auto Repair Shop Advises Travelers to Complete Auto Repairs Before Summer Road Trips

MINNEAPOLIS - June 18, 2013 - PRLog -- Auto repair shop Auto Electric urges Minnesotans traveling long distances by car this summer to have their car serviced before pursuing their travels.

Traveling by car is part of the annual summer experience. Families go on vacation and friends take road trips. If this pertains to you, make the road a safer place by taking the time to evaluate your automobile.

"Performing a simple pre-trip inspection of your car can greatly reduce the chance of it experiencing problems out on the road," said Craig Gornick, owner of Auto Electric.

Check fluid levels, including: oil, transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid and windshield washer fluid. If you are due for an oil change soon, take care of it before you leave.

Tire wear can be checked with a penny. Bald tires and long-distance traveling can increases the risk of a blow-out. Also, check the tire pressure.

Replace your air filter, due to the fact that dirty ones can restrict airflow. Air filters should be replaced more frequently if the car is driven mostly in the city.

Have someone help you check your turn and brake signals. It is an easy precaution to take.

Perform an overall visual check of your car. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, consider fixing it.
