Back-to-school season is approaching, and whether you’re carpooling kids to class or sending a college student off to campus, now’s the perfect time to make sure your vehicle is ready for the road. South Texas heat and traffic can take a toll, so here’s a quick checklist from Payne Auto Group to keep you rolling safely and smoothly!
✅ 1. Check Your Tires
Worn-out treads or underinflated tires can affect braking and fuel economy. Make sure the tires are properly inflated and have enough tread to keep your family safe on the road.
✅ 2. Test the Battery
South Texas heat is tough on car batteries. If yours is over 3 years old, consider getting it tested or replaced before school runs become daily routines.
✅ 3. Inspect the Brakes
That early morning rush to school is no time to find out your brakes are worn. If you’re hearing squeaks or feeling vibration, stop by for a brake inspection.
✅ 4. Update Registration & Insurance
Avoid last-minute scrambles and long lines, make sure your vehicle registration and insurance are up to date. Not sure if you’re getting the best deal? Ask Payne Insurance Group for a free auto quote.
✅ 5. Stock Up on Essentials
Think water bottles, charging cables, hand sanitizer, and a first aid kit. Keep a few school-ready items on hand just in case.
🎒 Whether you’re driving across town or across campus, Payne Auto Group is here to help you start the school year off right.
