Travel Tips For The Xmas Holidays

Just like Xmas shopping, it pays not to leave your Xmas travel plans to the last minute.  If you rely on your car to get you from A to B safely, consider booking in for a service ahead of time to save you time and frustration over the busy period.  

There’s nothing worse than packing up the car and driving off and then coming to an almighty halt.  Anything from brakes, to a flat battery to a worn tyre can catch us out.  Service technicians will be flat out leading up to Xmas and closed down during the Xmas break so you need to get it sorted early.  If you don’t you run the risk of not just breaking down, but paying double if you do need help.

Air conditioning is something you also need to keep an eye on. The summer months are when this cooling system is in high demand so for you, your family and your much-loved pets to keep cool, get it looked at well in advance. 

Ensure your tyres are pumped to the right specification to save on fuel, and make sure you always, always check your oil and water before heading off on a long trip. Make sure you’ve packed a good spare tyre for those off the beaten track moments in case you do get a flat.  By good, we mean one that is in tiptop shape and is going to last you until your next stop, or the next town.
