With summer just around the bend, aspiring vacationers are busy making plans to hit the road. To help keep you safe, Cavalier Mazda offers the following summer road trip tips to help deliver smooth cruising all the way.
Bring a Roadside Emergency Kit
This may seem like a pretty obvious tip, but many Tidewater area residents don’t have an emergency kit in their Mazda. It won’t do you any good to anticipate unforeseen issues if you aren’t actually prepared for them, which is why you should never take a road trip without a packed roadside emergency kit.
Service Your Mazda
Before you head out, bring your vehicle into Cavalier’s Mazda service center for an oil change and inspection. Having a vehicle that you know is running smoothly before you leave can help you rest easier and enjoy your summer vacation.
Fill ‘er Up
The already soaring cost of gas is only certain to fly higher during the summer months as demand rises and the roadways fill with travelers. The reality is, your path will likely take you far from Virginia and into areas where gas stations are few and far between. Fill your tank often. Keep an eye open for “Last Chance Gas” signs as you venture into the hinterlands. And if you’re running on empty, never hold out for another station with lower prices unless you want to hoof it.
