Summer Road Trip Tips | Baton Rouge, LA

At Price LeBlanc Lexus near Gonzales, Prairieville, and Denham Springs, we’re here to help you make the most of your summer travels in and around Baton Rouge, LA. Follow these essential road trip tips for the perfect, worry-free summer getaway!

Vehicle Health

• Tires – Check your tire tread and make sure they’re properly inflated before starting the long journey ahead.

• Brakes – Check for any wear and tear on your brake pads and discs. Faulty brakes in the middle of a road trip is the last thing anyone wants.

• Fluid Levels – Top off your engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windshield fluid so your vehicle is hydrated, too!

• Battery – Test the battery’s charge and inspect for any signs of corrosion.

Friendly Reminders

• Pack a kit including all of your essentials (first aid kit, flashlight and batteries, extra water, blankets, jumper cables).
• Plan your route out before starting the drive. We would even recommend planning a secondary route just in case your first choice becomes unavailable!
• Protect your vehicle from the sun when possible. Consider using a windshield sunshade to keep the interior cool and protect dashboard surfaces from UV damage.
