With back-to-school fast approaching, we wanted to share some tips from the Car Care Council about how to get your car ready to go back to college. Before you hit the road, check the following:
- Tires and tire pressure.
- Hoses and belts.
- Air filters.
- Wipers.
- Exterior and interior lighting.
- Fluid levels, including engine oil, power steering, brake, transmission, windshield washer solvent, and antifreeze/coolant.
