- Oil ChangeOk, if you are travelling with a group, then decide what car is better, it means, if everyone's car is equally good, then pick the one that gets the best gas mileage and where all the travelers will feel comfortable. If none of the cars is reliable enough, there's the option of renting a car; in this case, you may want to get an oil change before you leave, just to make sure it all is ok.

- Tire RepairDon't forget the spare. Getting a flat tire and discovering that your spare is also flat is a miserable experience. Inspect your spare as you would your other tires. If you have a compact spare, the inflation pressure will usually be written on the tire. If your car comes with a compressor and/or flat repair kit in lieu of a spare, check their operation regularly.
- Wheel AlignmentSome vehicle vibrations are the result of normal operation; even the best engines, transmissions and drivelines naturally produce some vibration. Others are due to some type of abnormal condition such as engine or transmission problems, driveshaft and axle failures, suspension wear or failure, improper wheel alignment, brake wear or failure, wheel bearing wear, tire/wheel assembly imbalance, out-of-round tire or wheel, or the force variation of a tire.
- Tire ReplacementFitment, the section width of the tire increases and the sidewall height decreases. The contact patch of the tire changes shape by becoming shorter and wider. While the shape changes, the size (area) of the contact patch remains relatively unchanged.

- Brake ServiceBrakes work by converting kinetic energy (forward motion) into thermal energy (heat). The friction between the stationary brake pad and rotating disk or drum as it slides past the pad convert the motion of the wheel and tire into heat, much the way rubbing your hands together on a cold day will warm them up. Bringing your car to a stop generates enough heat at each wheel to boil a liter of water in about 7 seconds. Brake temperatures can reach around 500°F during normal everyday use, and can reach up to 1000°F under heavy or repetitive braking.

- General RepairsJohn Ryder, AAA Mid-Atlantic territory manager for Approved Auto Repair, said he recently ran into a situation during which a friend's 2007 Volvo had a flat in California, he didn't have a spare and the inflator kit was expired. The car had to be towed from San Francisco to San Jose, he said.
- Towing ServiceRoadside service clubs, or auto service clubs, are absolutely great. Not only do they provide towing services for your vehicle, they can also bring you batteries, fuel, and get you discounts on parking and hotels all over the place! There are a number of roadside services available throughout North America, but there are a few main ones that provide service all over the country. One of those can be a good partner to join up with if you’re doing cross-country travel. Make sure your auto service membership works outside of your home state, unless all your adventures are within one state.
