The ho-ho-holidays are here which means many folks will be traveling over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house. To avoid a blue Christmas and any roadside mishaps, be proactive by making a list—and be sure to check it twice— with these tips to help keep you and your loved ones safe.
Rockin’ Around (and under) The Hood: Before any road trip visit your local, independent best Land Rover service center to have all things under the hood examined, including your battery, engine oil, all fluids, belts, hoses and more.
Tires, Won’t You Guide My Land Rover Tonight: Tire pressure affects the way your Land Rover drives, so correctly inflate all the tires (even the spare) before you depart. The proper recommendations for your Land Rover model can be found in your owner’s manual or on the inside label of your vehicle. Also look for any irregularities on the sidewall and check tread depth.
Don’t Get Run Over By A Land Rover: The condition of your Land Rover’s brakes should be checked prior to pulling out of the driveway, ere driving out of sight. Have your trusted, expert Land Rover mechanic take a look and replace if necessary.
Deck Your Land Rover With A Roadside Emergency Kit: It’s a good idea to have this as your road companion for all trips (even to the grocery store). With a roadside emergency kit, you can help increase safety if a breakdown should occur, or anything else unexpected.
Plan For Winter Wonderland Weather: Tis the season for unpredictable weather patterns, be prepared for whatever Mother Nature may throw at you. Check ahead of time to see what the forecast holds, and make sure your windshield wiper blades, defrosters, lights and if needed, snow chains, are intact and operating properly.
Search for a local, independent Land Rover repair shop with Land Rover mechanics that have dealer-level expertise at a fraction of the cost.
