BRIGHTON, Mich - The weather has
finally warmed up, the kids are about to get out of school and now is the time
to start planning your summer getaway. We can help make your vacation
worry-free with these Tips for the Perfect Summer Road Trip! Some advice
may seem like common sense, however, as vacation approaches we all can become
flustered and tend to disregard the obvious. So, whether you are headed out
with friends or the whole family, all of these tips are useful and will
definitely ensure a fabulous vacation.
1. Give Your
Car a Check-Up
Before you
head out on the road, bring your car into Brighton Ford! We will give your car
a nice check-up -oil change, tire rotation, change the wiper blades, you name
it- to be sure your vehicle is in mint condition for your trip! We know, taking
your car in isn't the greatest joy in life, but it is better to be safe than
sorry if you plan on doing a lot of driving!
2. Take a
Break
Depending on
how far your final destination is, remember to schedule in some pit stops. Not
only is this good if you are traveling with small children, but it is also good
for you to stretch your legs and restore some energy. The road will still be
there, so don't forget to take care of your passengers and yourself.
3. Hit Up
the App Store
Prior to
your departure, download some helpful apps on your smartphone! There is an app
for just about anything! From iGasUp helping you find the cheapest gas to
Roadside America leading you to the best tourist locations throughout your
route. Take the time to research some apps that you think would benefit your
vacation, whether it is games to play in the car or a great music station. A
few we suggest are: GasBuddy, License Plate Travel Game, Yelp, Trapster,
Priceline Negotiator and Spotify.
4. Say No to
the Junk Food
It is no
secret that most convenient stores and restaurants right off of the freeway are
packed with unhealthy meal and snack options. Dodge the junk food, which can
leave you feeling sluggish and tired, and pack your own cooler with your
favorite snacks! Nuts, pretzels, yogurt, cut up fruit and veggies and granola
bars are all easy, healthy options to take along with you.
5. Say it
with us, RELAX!
This is a
VACATION! This is the time to relax and rejuvenate. Don't rush the drive if you
don't have to, don't stress over unexpected traffic and remember ENJOY
yourselves!
Take
these Tips for the Perfect Summer Road Trip into account and
we are sure you will have a wonderful summer vacation! If you're looking for
some vehicle maintenance or even a new vehicle to take you on a trip this
summer, stop by Brighton Ford!
