This essential car checklist keeps your family safe this school year. Fast, reliable service at Aposhian Garage.
Back-to-School Car Checklist for Busy Families
As school routines return, your car becomes one of the most essential tools in your household. Whether driving across town for drop-off, commuting to work, or shuttling to sports practice, your vehicle must be safe and reliable.
At Aposhian Garage, we help Salt Lake City families prepare their cars for the school year with preventative maintenance and quick, honest service. Here's what to check before the first bell rings.
Safety First: Your Must-Check Items
- Brakes
Make sure your brakes respond quickly and quietly. If you hear grinding or
feel a soft pedal, it's time for service. - Tires
Check tread depth and air pressure. Worn or underinflated tires are
dangerous and reduce fuel efficiency. - Battery
Cold weather is coming. Test your battery now to avoid being stranded
during early morning school runs. - Lights and Wipers
Make sure headlights, taillights, and blinkers work properly. Replace worn
wipers for clear visibility in storms. - Fluids and Filters
Oil, coolant, transmission, and brake fluid should all be checked or topped
off. A clean air filter also helps your car run more efficiently. - Emergency Kit
Update your kit with jumper cables, flashlight, water, snacks, and a phone
charger — especially for families driving long distances.
