Stay Safe on the Road This Memorial Day Weekend

-
Memorial Day Weekend is days away and it is one of the most popular travel times in the United States. According to AAA, nearly 42 million travelers will be on the road this weekend. The best car dealership at the Lake of the Ozarks knows that if you're one of them, you'll want to make sure you make it to your destination safely and without any incidents. Hulett Chevrolet-Buick-GMC has a few tips to help you get to your destination safely this Memorial Day Weekend.

Get Your Vehicle Serviced

This is one of the most important things you can do before traveling. This year, AAA is expecting to rescue more than 340,000 broken down or stranded motorists between Friday and Monday. Make sure you're not one of them and take a good look at your vehicle and ensure it's ready for the trip. Check the battery, tire pressure, lights, and fluids. Bring your car into the best auto service shop at the Lake of the Ozarks to guarantee your car can handle any situation.

Plan Ahead and Map Out Your Trip

Before hitting the road, plan out your route. Ensure you're ready for whatever comes your way, whether that's tolls, construction, detours, gas stations or anything else. You can also plan out fun stops along the way to your destination. Either way, having a plan laid out before the trip can help you avoid potential problems like running out of gas, getting lost or getting delayed due to construction. A little planning ahead of time will not only save you time but will reduce your stress level.

Stay Alert in Construction Zones

During the summer, many counties take advantage of the nice weather and fix the damage that the hard winter weather caused on the roads. This means that you are more than likely going to come across road construction workers on your travels. Always be alert in work zones and follow the speed limit signs. Speeding fines are doubled in work zones so it’s better to be safe than sorry. 

Be Aware of Other Drivers

With nearly 45 million travelers on the road this holiday weekend, it's important to be extra aware of other drivers. Look ahead at least 12 seconds for potential hazards and changes in road conditions. You should allow a 3-4 second gap when following another vehicle and be sure to not drive in blind spots. It’s also a good idea to take caution around large trucks and don't forget, if you can't see their mirror, they can't see you.

Always Obey the Law

To help ensure a safe trip, remember to obey the law. Buckle up and make sure children are buckled safely (and remain buckled). Put the phone down and keep your eyes on the road. Obey the posted speed signs. Not only is speeding dangerous, but it's against the law. If you have a few drinks, don't get behind the wheel.

Don't Forget to Have Fun

We want you to have a safe trip and get to your destination without incident, however, we don't want you to forget to have fun. The long hours in the car can get a little tiring, especially for little ones. Make it a little more fun and play road trip games or make a short detour to a national landmark!

Have a Safe Memorial Day Weekend 

On behalf of everyone here at the best car dealership at the Lake of the Ozarks, we hope you have a very safe and fun Memorial Day Weekend! If you're in need of a new road trip vehicle before the holiday festivities get underway, stop by and test drive one of our new cars at Hulett Chevrolet-Buick-GMC. We look forward to helping you find your new dream car.
That's The Way We Do It At Hulett!

5 Reasons Your Check Engine Light Is On

-

It may be a little nerve wracking when your check engine light comes on. Nobody likes to see that their car is deteriorating. Usually, there is no warning or explanation for why the check engine light comes on. When you see this light come on, it means there is a trip to the best auto service department at the Lake of the Ozarks . There are many reasons why a vehicle's check engine light can come on, however, these are the five most common reasons. 1. Gas Cap Is Loose, Damaged or Missing You wouldn't think a gas cap would be that important, but it is. When a gas cap becomes loose or is broken, it can leak out fuel vapors, which can throw the whole fuel system off. If your check engine light comes on, but your car isn't feeling jerky or strange, the first thing you should check is the gas cap. 2. Catalytic Converter Needs Replacing Catalytic converters are another common item that drivers face. The catalytic converter works to reduce exhaust gasses. This is primar...
