Prepare Your Vehicle for Road Trips near Buffalo, NY
Preparing for a road trip means more than just packing a suitcase. You’ll want to ensure your vehicle is ready for the distance that you intend to travel, especially if the climate will be changing. We at Crazy Cheap Cars want to help you get your ride properly set for the road ahead, so read on to see what our technicians suggest!
Fluids
There are many liquids that help every vehicle run smoothly – engine oil, brake fluid, windshield wiper fluid, and more. Before you head off on the 5-hour-plus drive to New York City, be sure that these are all freshened and topped off. Engine oil is responsible for keeping that key component cleaned and cooled so it can run at optimum levels. Your brakes likely use hydraulics to work, meaning they work with pressurized air. As the air runs low, their efficiency drops as well. And if you expect to encounter any inclement weather, you’ll want to be sure that your windshield wipers are up to the task of keeping your view clear. Another important ingredient could be the refrigerant that allows your air conditioning to work. Summer road trips are certainly less enjoyable without properly cooled air, so feel free to ask our service bay to check your levels when you visit!
Tires
Headed down the coast to Virginia Beach? There’s a lot of ground to cover, so you’ll want to be equipped with tires that are ready to handle the more than 500 miles between you and your destination. You can find a link to our Parts Order Form on our website to enter information about your vehicle so we can equip you with the perfect set. If you are unsure whether you need replacements, there are a few ways you can check. How do the tread depths look? Are they still deep, are they even on every tire, do you have consistent traction in rainy or snowy weather? If any look low, be sure to refill their air. And if you know it has been a couple years since you last had tires installed, we suggest refreshing them. You’ll have increased peace of mind and better gas mileage with new components rolling you along to your destination.
Routine Maintenance
There are some other little jobs that should be done regularly at set intervals determined in your Owner’s Manual, but we encourage you to have them carried out before any extended drive. No trip to Chicago should be undergone without first checking your brake pads, air filters, and battery. These are all key parts of any vehicle that should be routinely checked and maintained to ensure a longer life for your ride. Not to mention, they’ll certainly make a road trip that much easier. Reliably stopping while stuck in traffic could save a lot of stress. Fresh air with the AC or heating running can help lower discomfort and potential complaints from any passengers. And your battery powers so many systems, it’s nearly impossible to ignore.
While planning for your next vacation, be sure to prepare your vehicle for road trips near Buffalo, NY, with the help of our Service Department here at Crazy Cheap Cars. We look forward to ensuring your ride is in top shape!

Testimonials
We will continue our business there for many years to come
Will proudly do business with them again
“ So here is my experience. I was looking for a Honda Civic in the EXL trim. I was looking at other dealerships and and from what I found out at 20:16 model 2017 was around 21 to $23000.I would have loved an accord but it was too expensive. I believe I found this dealership off of cars. com.To my surprise there it was, a is, a beautiful white 2016 Honda Accord EXL trim with under 50000 miles on it for 16K!!. I called them as soon as I saw the ad and was greeted with a live person who was attentive and was able to answer all my questions. Very professional! Living in Rochester I drove over an hour to this dealership to look at the car and to testdrive it. I was pleasently surprised, i kept thinking there must be something wrong with this car.. why is it CRAZY CHEAP? couldnt find anything cheap about it, than again its a Honda=) I opted to buy the premium extended warranty that goes up to 100k. Warranties are usually something to stay away with however the value they presented was too good of an oppurtunity to turn down. Today a year later.. I drive my Honda Accord witha smile on my face! Instead of getting a Civic im now in an EXL trim Accord! Remeber that warranty iI was just talking about? I used it today. That warranty which saved me over $500. I negotiated some terms like no deductable and I'm pleased that I can go to ANY mechanic in the US + have roadside assistance and loaner car reinbursement up to $50/day. Im moving down to Miami in 2 weeks and am about to drive over 1,400 miles. I have complete faith that my Accord will get me down there comfortably adn safely sadnif somthing breaks down I have that warranty. Conclusion: Will proudly do business with them again, 10/10 satisifed and would reccomend to family and friends. ”

Can’t express enough how easy and honest both Steve and Ron were
“ Can’t express enough how easy and honest both Steve and Ron were when I was in the market for a Dodge Charger.

I highly recommend those guys as their customer service makes you really feel like family! I’ll definitely be referring them to friends and family going forward and looking forward to my next purchase in the future. ”
I would rate this a great, stress free experience
“ My wife, my son, and I drove about 2 hours to check out a Honda Accord that looked really nice online with a very good price. We were met there by Chelsi, who was really friendly and extremely easy to work with. The car was beautiful, better than expected. We test drove it within 10 minutes of getting there and it handled great. When we got back, we met again with Chelsi, and she took the time to answer all of our questions, with no pressure at all. She made us feel very comfortable and we bought the car that night. When making plans to pick up the car, Chelsi was extremely responsive by phone and text, and was never too busy to answer any question I had. I would rate this a great, stress free experience ”
I highly recommend
“ Went to Crazy Cheap Cars for a truck that I found on Cars.com. A bit of a drive but so worth it! Chelsi helped me out with the sale and she is great. She was able to answer all my questions and was so helpful. I generally don’t like speaking will sales people, their pitch is so transparent and such a turn off. But Chelsi went at my pace and handled everything like a true professional. I’m very happy with my new truck, the great deal I got and excellent financing terms. I highly recommend. ”
