Northwest Iowa — With summer vacation season upon us, many area people are making plans for road trips.
Nick Jarmusz of Triple-A-Iowa says his organization expects to field numerous calls from customers this summer, with various car troubles.
To avoid some of those problems, Jarmusz suggests getting your vehicle inspected BEFORE heading out on any long trips, especially where the rubber meets the road.
He says people in this area know to plan carefully for breakdowns if they’re on the road during the harsh winter months, but Jarmusz suggests getting your vehicle checked out before you hit the road this summer, too.
Plus, he says keeping an emergency kit in your trunk with food, water, a flashlight, flares, a first aid kit, blankets and other supplies is still a good idea.
