Prepping your car for vacation Before you set off on your car trip, follow the checklist from the National Automotive Parts Association to reduce the risk of vacation breakdown. - Check to see whether fluid levels under the hood are adequate: oil, coolant, brake, windshield-wiper, transmission, and battery fluids. - Replace worn wiper blades. - Make sure that all tires (including the spare) are properly inflated. - Replace tires that show uneven tread wear and bulges. Most roadside emergencies result from blowouts. - Have your tires rotated and balanced, if you have not done so for more than a year, and have the alignment checked. - Check for visible cracks or bulges in engine belts and hoses, and replace any that look suspicious. - Tap the horn a few times to make sure it is working and is loud enough
