Seven Ways to Help Keep Your Family Safer This School Year

As summer winds down, our daily routines begin to fill with school drop-offs, after-school activities, and heavier traffic. Before the first day of school, take a few minutes to make sure your vehicle is ready.

1. Check Your Brakes

Reliable braking is essential in busy school zones and stop-and-go traffic.

2. Inspect Tire Pressure

Proper tire pressure improves handling, braking performance, and fuel economy.

3. Clean Your Windows

A clean windshield and mirrors improve visibility during early morning and evening drives.

4. Replace Wiper Blades

Good visibility is critical during sudden summer rainstorms.

5. Test Your Battery

High temperatures can shorten battery life. A quick inspection can help avoid unexpected problems.

6. Check Your Cooling System

Verify coolant levels and inspect for leaks before temperatures remain high.

7. Schedule Preventative Maintenance

Routine maintenance helps keep your vehicle dependable and ready for whatever the school year brings.
