There are few finer things in life than a road trip in an Alfa Romeo. Just make sure your high-performance luxury car is ready. The technicians at your local Alfa Romeo dealership can handle your long-trip prep in the following ways.
Inspect and Rotate Your Tires
On longer trips, your tires must be ready to tackle varying road surfaces. Our technicians can check each tire for damage or serious wear. We can rotate and realign them if required and make sure the air pressure inside each tire is correct. If tread depths are on the shallow side, we can install a new set of tires.
Replace Worn Brake Parts
You never know when an emergency stop might be required, and you need to have full confidence in your brakes. Have them inspected professionally before you depart. Seriously worn brake pads or rotors should be replaced.
Top Up Key Vehicle Fluids
Peak performance requires fresh, fully functioning vehicle fluids. Have your motor oil changed before your trip. All other fluids should be examined and possibly flushed, especially the coolant, which is about to be put under pressure by prolonged use of the engine. Make sure your transmission fluid, brake fluid, differential fluid, power steering fluid, and windshield wiper fluid are all in great shape, too.
Double-Check All Exterior Lights
Even if you don’t plan to drive at night, your headlights must be bright and reliable. Even with the best-made plans, mishaps happen, and you might find yourself on the road after dark in an unfamiliar area. We can test your headlights, taillights, fog lights, and turn signals and replace bulbs or repair wiring where necessary.
Test Your Battery and Alternator
If your battery is four or five years old, consider replacing it before a long, strenuous drive. If it’s still young and strong, have it tested for good measure. We can also test your car’s alternator and entire electrical system.
Service Your Air Conditioner
You wouldn’t want the AC to break down in the middle of your journey. Allow us to examine and test your air conditioner before you leave. We can clean out any traces of mold and recharge the refrigerant if necessary to ensure a cool, comfortable ride.
