Flat tire could be the culprit of road-trip delays, which can be caused by normal wear and tear, underinflated or overinflated. While most of the newer vehicles have tire-pressure monitoring systems, most cars’ computers will not detect overinflated or tire wear. A simple visual tire inspection and a tire gauge will tell you if you need to add or let out air in your tires. Refer to the label inside the driver’s door for proper tire inflation levels.

 

 

 

Hot summer months are the worst conditions for your car battery. It’s rarely for a car battery to indicate failure ahead of time and often occur at the most inconvenient time, such as during a road trip. If you notice that it is taking a long time to start the car, check the battery, a weak battery will cause the charging system to work harder trying to charge it. Replace the battery as a good preventive measure to avoid any damage to the charging system. Most of the batteries will last three to four years.
