How To Check Your Car Before A Road Trip

4. Check Brakes

When was the last time you had your brakes serviced? It’s a good idea to have someone check the brakes on your car and make sure your pads and rotors are in good repair, especially if you’re heading out on a long trip in conditions that might make braking more stressful. This would include driving into the mountains or towing a camper, for example. If you’re heading into dramatically different driving conditions, make sure you have the right brake pad material installed.
