Summer is the season of road trips, weekend getaways, and family vacations. But nothing ruins a well-planned adventure like unexpected car trouble. Before you pack the cooler and program the GPS, make sure your vehicle is as ready to hit the road as you are.
At Superior Transmissions and Auto, we’re not just experts in transmission rebuilds—we’re your one-stop shop for summer travel prep. Here's why scheduling a pre-trip inspection could be the most important part of your travel plans.
1. Beat the Heat—Before Your Car Does
High summer temps can put extra stress on your engine, cooling system, and transmission. If your vehicle is already running hot, summer heat could tip it into trouble.
What we check:
Coolant levels and condition
Radiator and hoses for leaks or cracks
Transmission fluid levels and temperature performance
Engine oil quality
2. Brakes, Tires, and Suspension—Your Summer Safety Trio
Road trips mean highway speeds, heavy luggage, and often unpredictable road conditions. Make sure your vehicle can handle it.
Summer safety inspection includes:
Brake pad and rotor wear
Tire pressure and tread depth
Suspension and steering components
Alignment and balance
3. Transmission & Drivetrain Check: Don’t Risk a Breakdown
Your transmission works harder when you tow a camper, drive in traffic, or travel up steep hills. Our specialty is keeping your transmission road-ready.
Transmission prep includes:
Fluid level and condition check
Transmission scan for stored trouble codes
Road test for shift quality and performance
Optional fluid change or service if needed
4. Electrical System & Battery: Avoid a No-Start Vacation
Hot weather can accelerate battery failure and expose issues with your vehicle’s electrical system.
We’ll test:
Battery voltage and cold cranking amps
Charging system output
Lights, wipers, and A/C performance
5. Why a Pre-Trip Inspection Matters
A quick inspection now can prevent hours stranded on the side of the road later. It also gives you peace of mind—so you can focus on the fun, not the “what-ifs.”
At Superior Transmissions and Auto, we’ve seen it all—from overheated engines in beach traffic to failed differentials halfway through a mountain trip. Trust us to get your vehicle road trip ready.
