Five Road Trip Essentials for Your Subaru

February 01, 2024 · 3 min read

Road trips in your Subaru are fun for the whole family, but before you hit the road, you need to make sure your vehicle has road trip essentials. Learn everything you need to know about preparing for a road trip, including when to schedule service at your Los Angeles Subaru dealer.

1. Get Service at Your Subaru Dealer

Before you head out on your road trip, it's crucial to make sure your car is in good condition. Scheduling routine maintenance at your local dealership will ensure your engine, battery, tires, and brakes are all roadworthy for a long trip. When you schedule service, make sure to let your mechanic know you plan to take a road trip so all essential vehicle components can be inspected.

2. Pack an Emergency Road Kit

It's a good idea to make room in your trunk for an emergency road kit. This kit should include jumper cables, a flashlight, a portable power bank, a tire inflator kit, a multitool, blankets, extra water, spare clothes, non-perishable food, and a first aid kit. Your emergency kit should be easily accessible and organized so you can quickly find what you need.

3. Bring Personal Care and Hygiene Items

If you're planning to be on the road for several days, you will be able to stop by truck stops to use shower facilities. However, in between truck stops, you may need to get cleaned up at rest stops, especially if you have small children. Packing personal care items, such as disposable wipes, travel-size shampoo, hand sanitizers, and other essentials in a toiletry bag can make your trip more pleasant.

4. Prepare a Trash Bag

Your road trip will be more enjoyable for everyone if there is a designated place to throw away trash in the car. A car trash bag kit can collect fast food wrappers, tissues, and snack wrappers so the inside of your car stays clean between stops. A trash bag can also be used to collect laundry in case you want to stop by a laundromat during your trip.

5. Install a Rooftop Carrier

Even if you aren't hauling recreational gear, installing a rooftop carrier on your Subaru is a great way to stay organized on a long trip. While the inside of your car can hold coolers and other essentials, you can use a rooftop carrier to hold clothes and other items. You can ask your dealership to install a genuine Subaru cargo carrier when you visit your dealer for service before your trip.

From scheduling service to changing your oil to buying accessories to keep your car organized, your local dealership can help you prepare for your road trip. Book a service appointment at Puente Hills Subaru in City of Industry, CA today.
