Get road-trip ready

Don't Let Car Trouble Crash Thanksgiving

Holiday travel can mean packed highways, changing temperatures, and extra miles on your vehicle. A pre-trip service visit can help identify potential problems before they interrupt your Thanksgiving plans.

Before you hit the road, consider having these essentials checked:

  • Battery: Check battery health and starting performance before colder weather arrives.
  • Tires: Inspect tire pressure, tread depth, and overall condition.
  • Brakes: Check for wear, unusual noises, or changes in stopping performance.
  • Fluids: Review oil, coolant, and other important fluid levels.
  • Lights and wipers: Make sure you can see and be seen during early sunsets or rainy weather.

Whether you're planning a short drive or a full Thanksgiving getaway, give yourself one less thing to worry about.

Thanksgiving travel tips

Thanksgiving Road Trip FAQs

A little preparation can make holiday driving easier. Here are answers to common questions before you head out.

What should I check on my car before a Thanksgiving road trip?

Start with your tires, brakes, battery, oil and other fluids, lights, and windshield wipers. If your vehicle is due for routine maintenance or you've noticed unusual sounds or warning lights, schedule an inspection before traveling.

How early should I schedule service before Thanksgiving?

As early as practical. Booking ahead gives you more time to address maintenance needs or unexpected repairs before your departure date. Appointment availability can vary.

Can colder weather affect my vehicle's battery and tires?

Yes. Lower temperatures can reduce battery performance and cause tire pressure to drop. Checking both before a holiday trip is a sensible precaution.

Should I service my car even if it's running fine?

If your vehicle is due for maintenance, a pre-trip visit can be helpful even when everything seems normal. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual and address any warning indicators before driving long distances.

Where can I shop for a new or pre-owned vehicle at Friendly Chevrolet?

Browse new Chevrolet inventory, used vehicles, or CarBravo certified pre-owned inventory online to compare your options.
