It’s that time of year again, the Fourth of July! What an excellent time to celebrate with your friends and families. As things start to open back up, people are getting vaccinated, and the weather is feeling great, people are not going to be staying home for these celebrations. So if you are traveling this 4th, Getz Automotive has these five things you should get done before the 4th.
Get The Brakes Checked
Whether you are going a few neighborhoods over or a hundred miles to celebrate this national holiday, your brakes are going to be used. Therefore, it is essential to know when you got your brakes serviced and if it was within the recommended time frame for checks. The recommended time frame between each brake inspection is around 6,000 to 10,000 miles or every other oil change. Even if you have replaced your brakes recently, it won’t hurt to have them inspected, so you know you are safe while on the road.
Get The Oil Changed
When was the last time you got an oil change? You don’t want to be traveling for the weekend and have your car’s engine lock up on you due to lack of oil. Stop by Getz Automotive in Fuquay-Varina NC, for an oil change today to ensure you are safe while traveling this 4th.
Get The Suspension and Alignment Checked
If your car is feeling bumpy going down the road or pulling to the side while driving straight, you may need some alignment or suspension work. Wheels that are out of alignment can lead to uneven tire wear and could cause a blowout on the road. Avoid having to replace your tires this 4th and bring your car into Getz Automotive for at least an alignment and suspension check to make sure everything is working correctly.
Get The Tires Checked
Avoiding debris on the road to prevent a flat is something you can control. Something else that you can control is how often you get your tires checked. Tires that have dry-rot or have the tread worn too thin are at serious risk of blowing out while driving. A tire blowout is never fun, so get your tires inspected before every trip to know when you might need them replaced. Be safe this 4th of July with a tire inspection from Getz Automotive.
