How to Prepare a Car For A Long Journey?

For a modern person, traveling by car over a long distance becomes an exciting adventure that is memorized for a long time. However, positive emotions such an event will leave only if the vehicle is well prepared for it. Of course, no one is immune from breakdowns on the road, but in our power to reduce the likelihood of such trouble to a minimum.

What to do before leaving?

Before the road, you need to make sure that the car is in good condition, that is, it is technically sound. Examine everything carefully. Belts and timing rollers, wheezing pumps and rollers, fueling petrol pumps must be changed before traveling.

Check the condition of the tires. Rubber should match the season, and the protector should be deep enough. In the off-season it is better to choose winter tires. The fact is that on the way the weather can change several times. If the weather is normal, then on winter tires you will feel quite good. And if there will be frosts, and you will go on summer rubber, then the trip will be dangerous for you.

Repair or ...

It is also important to soberly assess your ability and ability to repair your car. For example, if you can easily change the punctured wheel, then perhaps its "beading" will be difficult for you. If for you some repair manipulations represent a problem, then it makes sense to apply to SRT.

You should be prepared for any troubles that may occur on the road. From possible theft, you will be rescued by a car alarm with an auto start . But during such a trip you can face fraud, or simply with poor-quality products. For example, you can spoil candles with substandard gasoline. In your neighborhood you know very well where you can refuel, but where better not to go in any case. But in an unfamiliar area you will refuel at any gas station, and, unfortunately, such cases occur. Therefore, on a trip just in case, grab a spare set of spark plugs and a candle key.

What to grab more?

Also superfluous will be the most minimal set of tools in which several different screwdrivers, pliers, a wrench, a folding knife, an insulating tape, a small post should come in. Be sure to take a bulb for driving and driving. A battery charger and a cable. And more: do not leave for a long time from home without a fire extinguisher, emergency stop sign and first-aid kit.
