6 Tips To Make Your Car Travel Ready This Holiday Season
November 29, 2020
Here at Team Ryan Automotive, there is not a single Grinch in sight. We are the Whoville of the holidays, and we are proud to say so. As soon as Thanksgiving is over, we’re putting on our Santa hats because the holidays are a magical time. There is truly nothing like that chilled winter air combined with all the fun with our loved ones! It’s the times where memories are made, and we want your holiday season to form long-lasting memories by ensuring your car is in the best-working condition. Holidays often mean long distance car rides, so make sure you spend a little extra time on car maintenance before hitting the road. That’s where we come in to help with some more tips to help make your holiday season one for the books.
- Check Tire Pressure - This is important and super easy to do. Ensuring your tires are properly aired, you will save money on gas while also decreasing the risk of a flat or blowout.
- Have Any Warning Lights Diagnosed - We get it. Sometimes the warning lights that pop on your dash are confusing, and you might not really know what they mean. Instead of spending hours on Google trying to figure it out, let us do the work! You will want to get them diagnosed before that holiday road trip, but we have the equipment to do just that.
- Look at Your Fluids - The fluids in your car are vital to its life, so please be sure you have plenty of everything. Be sure you have plenty of oil, power steering fluid, brake fluid, antifreeze, transmission fluid, and windshield fluid, and then you’re ready to drive off into the wintery sunset!
- Replace Old Windshield Wipers - Old windshield wipers are not only frustrating but also dangerous. To avoid a streaky windshield or lessened visibility, replace your old wipers before a big trip. It’ll help make unexpected snow storms a little more tolerable!
- Notice Unusual Brake Noises - If your brakes have been squeaking or grinding, you might want to get them checked out before you take your family on that road trip. We would be happy to service your brakes to ensure the safety of them. Because at the end of the day, the safety of you and your family is what matters!
- Check Your Lights
- Lights are very important on a vehicle, and if they are not working properly, they could also cost you a ticket. Be sure your headlights, tail lights, and signals are in good-working condition before any holiday fun!

What an incredible season and a moment of pride for the entire Buford community. This championship represents a true dedication to hard work, discipline, and teamwork, and it is a testament to a program that continues to set the standard both on and off the field. At Team Ryan Automotive, we are incredibly proud to be a sponsor of this outstanding program, not only for what these athletes accomplish under the Friday night lights, but for the leadership and character they demonstrate beyond the game. The Buford Wolves consistently show that success is about more than wins and trophies. It is about integrity, accountability, and lifting others up along the way. Earlier this year at a Buford Academy pep rally, the football team took time to personally connect with every child in the room, making each student feel seen and valued. Moments like that show what this program truly stands for. Character. Community. And doing the right thing even when no one is watching. Our son Aidan shared how much it meant to him that he “got to slap hands with the real football team players,” a small moment that left a big impression. Experiences like that inspire younger students and remind all of us how powerful positive role models can be. That spirit of leadership and heart is something our family and our entire team at Team Ryan Automotive align with wholeheartedly. We believe in showing up for our community, supporting one another, and leading by example, values we see reflected so clearly in this program. Well earned, Wolves. Buford is proud of you, and we are honored to stand behind such an incredible team. 💚🏈
