The Most Important Road Trip Essential for the Holidays!

This post is sponsored by Kelley Blue Book; however, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

With the holidays just around the corner, most of you will be taking a road trip at some point! And although road trips can be a blast, they can also be extremely stressful if you’re not equipped with the right tools! What if I told you that the most important road trip essential you need is not something that you’ll be putting in your trunk, but actually something that you’ll be bookmarking on your phone? Curious? I’m talking about the Kelley Blue Book Auto Repair Guide! For over 90 years, KBB.com has been helping to educate us on buying the perfect car and now they’re helping us service and maintain our cars too! It’s the only guide that will ensure you’re fully prepared for anything your road trip might throw your way and it’ll help you arrive safely to your destination (where there will hopefully be lots of delicious food awaiting)!

I’ll be driving down for the holidays to see my best friend with both my kids and so I know, firsthand, that when planning a trip, the last thing on your mind should be if your vehicle will get you to your destination safely. I prefer to have peace of mind that no parts of my car have any recalls and that everything on my car is in perfect working condition. The weather is so unpredictable and the last thing I want is to ignore that check engine light or postpone my oil change for one more month and possibly have my car stall on the side of the highway with 2 hungry kids in the back. Thankfully, the Auto Repair Guide provides at your fingertips, information about recalls, repairs and even helps you educate yourself on the service and repair price ranges with their Fair Repair Range estimator tool, so no more overpaying! It shows you garages in your area that are equipped to fix your car and will provide you with the knowledge you need to request a fair price!

When’s the last time you checked with your vehicle’s dealership to see if there were any recalls? Do you know with certainty what the maintenance schedule is for your car? I didn’t, but thanks to the Auto Repair Guide, I now know! Using it is as simple as putting in your car make and model. You’re shown available service centres, recalls, service & maintenance schedules based on your mileage and repair range prices!

No one wants unexpected surprises for the holidays (unless it’s a really good gift) so make sure you and your friends and family get to your destination safely by keeping your vehicle in the best condition you can with the help of the Kelley Blue Book Auto Repair Guide.
