Neptune Towing’s Guide to a Smooth & Stress-Free Journey

Tulsa is the perfect starting point for memorable road trips—whether you’re cruising down Route 66, heading to Oklahoma City, or exploring the Ozarks. But nothing ruins a getaway faster than an unexpected car breakdown.

Before you hit the open road, follow this professional checklist from Neptune Towing to ensure your vehicle is road-trip ready.

1. Inspect Your Tires

  • Check tread depth and look for cracks, bulges, or uneven wear.
  • Set tire pressure to manufacturer specifications (don’t forget the spare tire).
  • Pack a tire inflator or sealant kit for emergencies on the go.

2. Test Your Battery

  • Extreme heat and cold can shorten battery life.
  • Get your battery tested for free at most Tulsa auto parts stores.
  • Replace any weak or aging batteries to avoid being stranded.

3. Check Fluid Levels

  • Top off engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid.
  • Inspect for any leaks under your vehicle and address them before departure.

4. Inspect Belts and Hoses

  • Look for cracks, fraying, or soft spots on belts and hoses.
  • Schedule a quick inspection with your mechanic to prevent road trip breakdowns.

5. Test Lights, Wipers, and Climate Controls

  • Ensure all headlights, brake lights, and turn signals are working properly.
  • Check wiper blades for wear and ensure the windshield washer system functions.
  • Test air conditioning and heater to stay comfortable in Oklahoma’s unpredictable weather.

6. Pack a Roadside Emergency Kit

Be prepared for any situation by packing:

  • Jumper cables or a portable jump starter
  • Flashlight with spare batteries
  • First-aid kit
  • Basic tools and a tire-changing kit
  • Water, snacks, and essential medications
  • Phone charger and a list of emergency contacts
