The holiday season is in full swing, and for many Orlando drivers, that means a road trip is in order to visit family and friends. If you’re preparing to hit the highway this holiday in your MINI vehicle, get your car road-trip-ready at Orlando MINI.

Fluids

Your MINI car’s fluids are its lifeblood. It’s imperative to change and top off your car’s fluids before driving long distances. This includes changing its oil, radiator, and brake fluids. If your oil is old and dirty, it can cause numerous parts of your engine to malfunction, leaving you stranded on the side of the road. Here at our Orlando, FL MINI service center, our expert technicians will get your car ready to hit the road by renewing all of its fluids.

Tires

Your MINI car’s tires are paramount to not only overall safety, but also drivability and fuel efficiency. Be sure that they are properly inflated and aligned. If you’re in need of a tire rotation or even a replacement, Orlando MINI’s team will gladly do that for you.

General Maintenance

It’s important that your car is in good working order if you’re planning to travel long distances. Some general MINI parts that require maintenance include:

  • Brake pads – Get your brake pads replaced if they’re worn out. You should generally replace them every 25,000 to 70,000 miles.
  • Lights – If you have any head- or tail-lights out, get them replaced right away so that you can see and be seen.
  • Belts and hoses – If you notice that any of your belts are loose or your hoses are leaking fluid, get them replaced immediately.

Be safe and secure this holiday season by getting your MINI vehicle serviced at our Orlando MINI service center.
