When the temperature rises, your car works harder than usual. Before leaving Buellton for a summer road trip, take a few minutes to check under the hood. Check your coolant and make sure it's at the right level. Low coolant can make your car overheat, which could ruin your trip fast. Also, check your oil and top it off if needed. A well-maintained engine runs cooler and lasts longer on those long stretches of highway.
Your tires deserve attention, too. Hot pavement can change your tire's pressure, so check each tire before you go. Bring a small air pump just in case. Pack plenty of water for everyone in the car, and throw in some healthy snacks. Drivers in Santa Barbara County know how fast a sunny day can turn into a scorcher. Try to take breaks in shaded areas and never leave kids or pets inside a parked car.
