Stay Safe with these Tips from AAA

Many roads throughout the region are in need of repair. Potholes, in particular, remain on many major roadways and have affected many members and their vehicles.

We have seen an increase in tire related service calls this year and recommend that you have a spare tire in your vehicle at all times. Inspect your spare tire to ensure it is in proper driving condition and has enough air to meet the correct pressure measurement. This will help you avoid any unnecessary delays in the event you need a tire changed. While driving, remain aware of possible potholes, slow down and increase following distance to safely steer around potholes. After driving over a pothole, check your tires for blisters or other damage. If you have aluminum or custom wheels, check them for cracks at your earliest convenience.

Also, please remember to ask your mechanic to check your steering, suspension, tires and alignment to prevent uneven tire wear or further challenges with your vehicle. If you are in need of a mechanic we can help you find a AAA Car Care Center or Approved Auto Repair Facility. AAA makes it easy to report potholes, and get them fixed.
