Hot weather puts extra stress on your car, so it pays to get ready before a summer road trip. Start by looking at your tires to make sure they have enough tread and air pressure. Heat makes tire blowouts more common, and nobody wants that on a busy Bronx highway. Also check your battery, brakes, and coolant levels. A quick tune-up now can save you from trouble later when you are miles from home.
Smart driving habits matter just as much as car care during the summer months. The sun can tire you out fast, so drink plenty of water and take breaks every few hours. Keep an emergency kit in your trunk with a flashlight, first aid supplies, and jumper cables. If you are traveling through New York with kids or pets, never leave them in a hot car, even for a minute.
