You will always want your vehicle to be in the best condition possible. This is especially important when you plan on traveling and towing a trailer. There are several parts that you will want to inspect on your vehicle. One of the most important things is to check each tire of the vehicle. When the tires are in the proper condition, they can improve the safety and reliability of your vehicle when you are on the road. If the tires are at the proper air pressure, you will also have a smoother and more comfortable ride. When you notice anything out of the norm for your vehicle, always remember to bring it in so we can inspect it for you.
Suspension
The tires and suspension should be checked on your vehicle as well. When your vehicle hits bumps or potholes, it can do damage to the tires or suspension. Hitting a large pothole can cause damage to the tires. Anything from scratches to bulges to even the tires blowing out. You will always want to check the tires to ensure they are aligned properly as well. When the tires are aligned, then the suspension will operate properly as well. If the suspension has become damaged, you will notice that it results in a rough and uncomfortable ride. If you ignore poor suspension, it could buckle and fail completely.
Pulling a Trailer
When you pull a trailer and boat, the extra weight could put strain on your vehicle. If you notice the vehicle pulling or handling differently than normal, contact us. Besides checking the suspension, you will want to check the electrical system of the vehicle as well. This will help to ensure that the lights will work on the vehicle and trailer when you are towing. Make sure the blinkers, taillights, and brake lights all work. This will help others to see where you are, and what direction you will be turning.
