The holidays are coming here in Texas. And that means there will be plenty of travelers on the roads. If you are planning on making a couple of trips for the holidays, then keep reading.
Collins Auto Care, your auto repair service in Houston, TX, provides you with three holiday travel tips that you need to follow. The last thing you want is to deal with vehicle issues that you didn’t catch in time. The sooner you get it ready for the holidays, the better.
If you have yet to get your vehicle inspected or if you are having concerns about whether or not it’s prepped for holiday travel, here are some tips that you need to follow:
-
1. Get it inspected ASAP
While not really a travel tip, getting your vehicle inspected and making sure things are running smoothly is important. That’s because you don’t want a vehicle to break down to your destination or on the way home. Either way, Collins Auto Care has ASE-certified mechanics near Cypress, TX that will inspect your vehicle and make on the spot repairs.
These repairs will be done on the same day. And they are backed by a 24 month, 24,000 mile warranty. Our high-quality parts and repairs are second to none. While your vehicle is being serviced, you can use one of our pre-inspected loaner cars or get a free ride from the shop to take you home or to work.

2. Make sure everyone is buckled up
Seat belts save lives. There is no better way to say it. Accidents never take a holiday off.
And a lot of them happen during times when travel numbers tend to be elevated. It’s important to make sure that your seat belts are good to go before you even have passengers aboard (especially your kids). Sudden stops, slipping and sliding on the roads, and so much more can happen during the holidays.
Preventing serious injury or death is possible with the use of a seat belt. As part of the inspection, Collins Auto Care will make sure they are in working order.

3. Be alert when driving
Around the holidays, it’s nice to have a drink or two of egg nog. However, you don’t want to operate behind the wheel when you are under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances. Not only is it illegal, but you can also risk getting yourself in an accident.
Reduce your alcohol intake or don’t drink at all (especially if you are a designated driver). The holidays will be wall to wall with parties. If you are planning on traveling to one, you may want to come home the same way you did on the way over: sober.
