Car on the  road | Woodie's Auto Service & Repair Centers

The weather is getting warmer, and it is that time of year when many of us start planning road trips and vacations for the summer months. We know that planning the trip itself may be forefront in your mind, however it's important not to forget that your vehicle needs to be in the best condition to embark on a road trip. The last thing you want is to get stuck on the side of the road in an unfamiliar place, and ensuring proper vehicle condition can help you avoid this. 

Before you embark on your road trip, we invite you to schedule a pre-trip inspection here at Woodie's Auto Service & Repair Centers. A pre-trip inspection will check all of your vehicle’s major components to make sure they are all in good working condition and can handle a long drive. Our mechanics will also top off important fluids and make sure there are no obvious signs of major repairs needed. 

Our mechanics will suspect the following: 

  • Battery
  • Belts & Hoses
  • Tires
  • Brakes
  • Fluids & Filters
  • A/C System

A bumper to bumper inspect of your vehicle will give you the peace of mind you’ll need to fully enjoy your road trip and help avoid major setbacks that can happen along the way when vehicle problems occur. Whether you’re planning a trip to the beach, a camping trip, or a fun adventure to a theme park - make sure that your vehicle is running at its best! 

For friendly service, don’t hesitate to give us a call today or schedule your pre-trip vehicle inspection via our online appointment form here at Woodie's Auto Serivce & Repair Centers. We look forward to seeing you soon!
