Top tips for your Summer road trip

From the Grampians National Park to the Great Ocean Road, Visit Victoria has got you sorted with 11 road trips and itineraries!


Once you've decided on your destination, getting your car road ready is essential.


Here are our top tips to keep your car running smoothly for your journey ahead:

- Check the engine oil, automatic transmission fluid, windscreen washer fluid and cooling system tank. Top up as required.

- Check the air pressure of each tyre. If you're unsure about the recommended inflation pressure, simply refer to the manual.

- Check that the jack and spare tyre are where they should be.

- Finally, test your headlights and indicators to ensure that each illuminates.


For the ultimate peace of mind, it may be worth investing in roadside assistance! With Budget Direct Roadside Assistance, you won’t be left stranded if your car breaks down, and for as little as $1.60 per week, it’s a small price to pay. With no joining fee, it works out to $79.95 a year for unlimited callouts and 24/7 coverage!


If you require assistance checking your car, or need new tyres or replacement globes, please get in touch via the contact form on our website or by calling (03) 9859 1688.


Happy travels!


PS. The garage reopens next Wednesday (2 January 2019) at 8:30 am.
