If back-to-school season in Knoxville, TN means you need to start planning your carpool, it's probably time to address your vehicle. The tips below from our team at Grayson Subaru will help you plan your trip and arrange your vehicle accordingly.
Get Under the Hood: Make sure that your vehicle is topped up. Check your windshield washer fluid, your radiator, and your oil first thing in the morning. Making sure that your vehicle will be safe on the road is critical to the safety of your passengers.
Once you've checked under the hood, make sure you also check your tire pressure. Keeping your tires at the proper pressure will reduce the risk of a flat and save gas.
Clean Out the Car: Now is also the time to clear out all the vacation detritus. Even if you didn't allow eating in the car, you will need to address all the charging cords, books, games, and other gear that stacks up in the car over the summer. Water bottles, soda cans, and coffee cups will also need to come in and get washed up for back-to-school.
A clean and properly maintained car will keep you and yours safer in back-to-school traffic.
