Travel Tips for Memorial Day Weekend

As Memorial Day approaches, many are eagerly anticipating the long weekend and the opportunity to travel near and far. Whether you're planning a road trip or a local staycation, ensuring your vehicle is in top condition is essential for a smooth and enjoyable travel experience. We’re listing all our best car-care travel tips to help you get vacation ready this Memorial Day weekend!

Pre-Trip Preparation: Before hitting the road, prepare your vehicle for the trip ahead. Start by pre-purchasing an inside and out car wash at Autobell to remove dirt, grime, and debris accumulated from daily driving. A clean exterior improves visibility and safety on the road when traveling. Don’t forget to check your tire pressure, including your spare, before hitting the road. Last, get an oil change if your vehicle needs one—this is easy to forget but important.

Interior Refresh: Don't forget to pay attention to the interior of your vehicle as well. Vacuuming carpets, wiping down surfaces, and cleaning upholstery will create a clean and comfortable ride for your travels that even the kiddos will enjoy. Our anniversary sale takes savings off one of our best interior and exterior washes, the Super Polyprocess Wash.

Pack Essentials: Before setting off, pack a roadside emergency kit with essentials such as a flashlight, jumper cables, first aid supplies, and a spare tire if you have one. Don't forget to check your tire pressure ahead of your trip to ensure you don’t have any leaks.

Plan Your Route: Whether you're venturing to a nearby destination or exploring scenic routes, planning your route in advance can help minimize stress and maximize enjoyment. Take advantage of navigation apps to avoid traffic congestion.

Follow Autobell's travel tips to ensure a safe, comfortable, and memorable trip whether you're exploring new destinations or rediscovering familiar favorites. From all of us at Autobell, we wish you a safe and relaxing Memorial Day weekend!
