One way to avoid a disastrous road trip is to make sure the vehicle you will be driving is running well. A 10-minute pre-trip check is a quick and easy way to help avoid the inconvenience of a breakdown many miles away from home.

I've been engaged in the automotive industry in one way or another for most of my life. At 15 years old, my first real job was pumping gas, washing cars, and helping keep Andy Long's Atlantic Filling Station in Shamokin, PA, clean and tidy and, of course, putting those little "Red Balls" on our customer's antennas. Remember the days when someone else put gas in your car, and the give-aways were abundant—no more Tiger Tails in your tank from Exon these days.
