7 Tips for Planning a Family Trip This Fall

October is Chevy Truck Month! If you’re planning on taking your family on a road trip this fall in a new Chevy truck, you should make sure to plan it carefully. Martin Chevy has come up with seven tips for a successful and safe family road trip.

1. Have a reliable GPS on hand. Even if you’ve mapped your route ahead of time, unexpected roadblocks can occur. A GPS is a great way to safely navigate an alternate route. Use Chevrolet MyLink to sync up your iPhone to the Silverado’s touch screen for hands-free navigation capabilities.

2. Get your vehicle inspected. If your Chevy truck is a little older, you will want to have it thoroughly inspected to make sure everything is running smoothly. Visit Martin Chevy’s auto service center to have your truck looked at.

3. Pack a first aid kit and highway safety kit. Always be prepared for the unexpected. Martin Chevy is happy to order these necessary vehicle accessories for you. 

4. Subscribe to OnStar services. When you purchase a new Silverado, you’ll get six months of OnStar Automatic Crash Response for unforeseen moments. 

5. Stash a properly inflated spare tire. If your vehicle comes with a spare tire, make sure to inspect it before leaving for your trip. We can also order a spare tire for your Chevy truck. 

6. Check the tire pressure. Swing by the Martin Chevy service center to have your Silverado or Colorado’s tire pressure checked before heading out on your fall adventure. 

7. Secure your truck’s bed. Sure, the Silverado and Colorado have plenty of space to fit whatever essential road trip items you need, but if there’s any extra room, they will almost certainly slide around. A bed net will keep all your belongings in place no matter what type of terrain your Chevy truck powers through. Request a bed net for your truck from Martin Chevy.
