Eager to pack up your car and explore Canada\u2019s magnificent national parks? <strong>Before you hit the open road, make sure your ride is as ready as you are by following Certified Auto Repair\u2019s list of essential pre-trip car checks.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. The condition of your tires<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re about to embark on a coast-to-coast Parks Canada camping trip or a quick weekend getaway to your nearest national park, it\u2019s crucial that your car\u2019s tires be in perfect condition. Before you leave, it\u2019s a good idea to have their pressure, alignment and level of wear assessed by an expert.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. The condition of your brakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Planning to stop at every single Parks Canada site you come across? Great\u2014but make sure you\u2019re able to, well, <em>stop<\/em> in the first place. Book an appointment at one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/certifieautoservice.ca\/en\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Certified Service Centers<\/a> and let the pros make sure your vehicle\u2019s braking system is up to par.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. The state of your A\/C<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Quick question: on a sweltering summer day, would you rather find yourself cruising in a cool, air-conditioned car, or gasping for air in an oven-mobile? Enough said.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. The state of your lights<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The excitement of your Parks Canada camping trip is sure to last well into the starry hours of the night. Make sure you\u2019re visible at all times by confirming that your turn signals and headlights are in good working condition before you leave. The same goes for your RV, if that\u2019s more your camping style.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. And everything else!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Windshield wipers, washer fluid, engine oil, coolant and suspension fluid should also be high on your list of things to check before you hit the road.
