Traveling tips

Thanksgiving is one of the biggest driving holidays of the year. Relatives travel far and wide to congregate over turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy. However, before you head out of Illinois, we recommend bringing your vehicle to our Toyota service center and following our advice for a safe and successful trip.

Plan Ahead

When's the last time you got your car, truck, van, or SUV checked for problems? Before a long trip, it's advisable to make sure your oil levels, battery, tires, belts, and hoses are all in working order and in good shape. The last thing you need on the way to enjoy the holiday is to get held up by a car problem that could have been easily prevented with a quick look by trained technicians.

Planning ahead isn't just about taking care of the car. You should also plan your route and your entertainment. Nothing makes a long trip fly by faster than a podcast or your favorite album! If you're bringing kids along, make sure they have plenty to do by bringing along their favorite toys and books.

From our family to yours, happy Thanksgiving! If you're looking to get your car inspected before you hit the road, schedule a service appointment at Fort's Toyota of Pekin today.
