car hire turkey

people are getting ready to hit the road for thanksgiving.

car hire turkey, triple-a says more people than ever will be traveling

this week...and most of them will be driving. we want to make sure your car's in great shape for the roadtrip... so we sent

news 13's david romero to find some quick tips for you...he's live at the big i now...david ... well matt, there will be a lot of people

on the road this holiday weekend and you can expect the big i to remain busy. so a thorough inspection by a licensed

mechanic is the first critical step before you hit the road. it's very important because you want your car to make your trip, you want to feel comfortable with the

car making the trip and then getting back home. it's the one thing many may take for granted, just being able to jump in the car

and go. but with winter weather upon us in some areas, it's better safe than sorry here are some good tips to get your car in tip-

top shape. first off, make sure your coolant levels are good and can withstand temps to 30 below zero. what happens is when

you get down to zero or plus 10, that's how much water you have in there and if you get to a different state where it's really cold at night, it's going to freeze and your block is going to crack

because you have too much water in there and not enough anti- freeze it's not going to do you any good to see out of a dirty windshield,

check those fluids as well. if it's not good for 20 below, it will freeze when you spray it on your windshield the heart of the car - the battery - also

needs a check. make sure it's got plenty of acid in there, and check the date, make sure it's not too old of a battery fan belts are the next thing you want to

make sure are running. make sure there's no cracks, look on the backside for cracks on the frontside, if you have more than 10 cracks per inch, that's when the belt needs to

be replaced nat pop... changing tire you also want to make sure you have enough tread on your tires. if you can stick a penny in there

and see most of lincoln's face, it's time to get some new tires. one other key piece that the mechanics wanted us to pass along is

tire pressure is what your car's manual says it should be. even on a cold road, an under inflated tire can heat up and leave you with a

blow out. matt, back to you. thanks david. it's also a good idea to bring some blankets,

water and snacks with

you...just in case you get
