Get your car in 2 weeks before your trip to make sure you have the time needed for any services 2. Bring your car to a reputable shop, not just an “Oil Change Place” so they can check out the whole vehicle and not just the oil 3. Ask the shop for a whole pre-trip inspection, Bud’s will do our b ... read more
