Take Care Of Your Car Before Your Family's Vacation

My job is to get the meals planned, make sure the kids are packed. Thankfully, my husband's job is to make sure the car is ready for a long road trip - often in the mountains - but then again, anything more than a mole hill is considered a mountain when you live in the Chicago area!

Here are some suggestions:

Check the coolant level and inspect the radiator cap
Inspect your radiator hoses
Inspect your fan belts
Inspect your battery
Test your starting and charging system
Maximize performance and gas mileage
