The Ultimate Car Maintenance Checklist for a Breakdown-Free New Year’s Holiday

The Ultimate Car Maintenance Checklist for a Breakdown-Free New Year’s Holiday


It’s the dawn of a new year and it’s time to celebrate the holidays. However, we recommend inspecting the essential parts of your car to ensure a safe and comfortable journey.

Here is an automotive checklist for the holiday season:

Car maintenance

Engine oil helps lubricate engine parts and improves fuel efficiency. Always check engine oil levels and oil quality before traveling. Coolant helps prevent the engine from overheating. Brake fluid, steering fluid, and windshield washer fluid should be sufficient. You should test the battery for voltage, terminal corrosion, and weak connections. Tires can be examined for pressure and tread depth. Keep a good spare tire in the trunk.


Car safety

Make sure the brakes respond and the braking distance is sufficient for vehicle safety. Do all headlights, turn signals, brake lights and parking lights shine perfectly? If the wiper does not move properly on the windshield, replace it. Check the operation of the air conditioner: is the cooling sufficient? Are there any noises or anything unpleasant inside the cabin? Inspect refrigerant gas levels and operation of important parts and ensure the system is free of leaks.

Car detailing services

During the winter season, regular car washing alone is not enough to maintain the shine and polish of your vehicle’s exterior and interior. You may want to consider services like ceramic coating, window tinting, wrapping, or upholstery cleaning.

Car emergency kit

Always keep a medical kit containing plaster, antiseptic ointment and a bandage in the car. Basic tools such as wrenches, jacks and screwdrivers help with car maintenance on the road. Jumper cables may be required for the starter battery. Keep a flashlight.
