When you are planning to go for a trip then there are few things which have to be looked in a car and some maintenance has to be done. After arriving at the destination, the last thing to do in case of problem is to look for a mechanic. If you had done some basic maintenance to the car then you would not be repairing it on the arrival. If something weird was noticed in the car, now is the right time to check for avoiding problems from getting worse.

Car Brakes

This is from where the car maintenance is started. If the brakes have any problems then they should be fixed before setting off for the trip. If there is any unusual squealing or noise when the brake pedals are pressed, then this is a good indicator that the brakes have some fault. Take this opportunity as the right time to replace the brake pads. It is not very difficult and it can be easily done on your own.

Car Tires

This goes in hand with the brakes. When the brakes have been checked, tires are the next thing to be checked. It should be made sure that they are in a proper working condition. Tires should be regularly checked as it is a procedure of maintaining a car. This is the time when the handbook comes in use to help you in knowing the correct tire pressure. However, it should be kept in mind that the tire pressure will differ if heavy goods are being carried.
