Summer road trips are an exciting way to explore new places and make lasting memories. But before you hit the highway, one crucial step can save you from unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs: a pre-trip vehicle inspection.

At Lackey Body Works, we want you to enjoy your journey without stress. Here’s why a thorough inspection before your trip is so important—and what to look out for.
1. Catch Hidden Damage Early
Sometimes, minor dents, scratches, or frame damage can go unnoticed—until you’re on the road. A pre-trip inspection helps identify issues that could worsen during travel or affect your vehicle’s safety.
2. Ensure Your Vehicle Is Safe and Reliable
Brakes, tires, lights, and fluid levels all play a vital role in your car’s performance. An inspection can spot worn tires, low brake pads, or fluid leaks before they become emergencies.
3. Avoid Costly Breakdowns
A small fix now can prevent a major repair later. Catching problems early can save you money and keep your trip on track.
4. Peace of Mind on the Road
Knowing your car is in good shape lets you focus on the fun parts of your trip—scenic stops, good food, and quality time with loved ones.
5. Extended Vehicle Lifespan
Regular inspections and maintenance don’t just keep you safe—they help your vehicle last longer and perform better.

Final Thoughts
A little time spent on a pre-trip inspection can make a big difference in your summer travel experience. Whether it’s your first road trip or an annual tradition, Lackey Body Works is here to keep you moving safely.
