As summer travel kicks into high gear, many families are hitting the road for vacation. Whether you’re heading to the coast, the hill country, or just across town, one question matters before you go: Is your car ready for the road?
Regular maintenance isn’t just about avoiding breakdowns—it can also impact your auto insurance coverage and claims. Here’s why:
1. Maintenance Means Safer Driving
Keeping up with routine services like oil changes, brake checks, and tire rotations helps ensure your vehicle is in peak condition. A well-maintained car is less likely to suffer from mechanical failures that could lead to accidents—and safer driving can help protect your insurance record.
2. Preventing Major Problems
Neglecting small maintenance issues can lead to bigger, more expensive problems down the line. In some cases, if damage occurs due to neglect, your insurance provider might not cover the repair. Staying current on maintenance helps reduce that risk.
3. Road-Trip Ready
Summer heat and long drives can strain your vehicle. Don’t let a preventable engine issue derail your vacation. A quick tune-up now can mean peace of mind for the miles ahead.
Don’t risk it—check it! Make sure your car is ready before your next trip. And if you’re unsure what your current insurance covers, Payne Insurance Group offers free quotes and personalized policy reviews to make sure you’re protected.
