Football season is here, and whether you're heading to your first tailgate or you're a seasoned parking lot veteran, making sure your vehicle is game-ready is just as important as perfecting your tailgate-worthy recipes. At Pep Boys, we want to help you tackle the season with confidence, so you can focus on what matters most—cheering on your team!
Get Your Vehicle Ready for Game Day
Before you load up the coolers and fold up the chairs, make sure these maintenance musts are checked off your list:
Tires: Tailgating lots can be rough on tires. From gravel and debris to broken glass left behind by other fans. Check your tread depth and tire pressure before you head out, and don't forget your spare! A flat tire in a crowded parking lot can turn your game day into a real fumble.
Battery: Your battery works overtime on game day, powering everything from your phone charger to portable speakers. Cold weather games can be especially tough on batteries, so stop into Pep Boys for a free battery test to avoid getting stranded when it's time to head home.
Oil: Stop-and-go traffic getting to the stadium, plus sitting in parking lots with the engine running for tailgate setup, can put extra stress on your engine. Make sure you're up to date on oil changes before the season kicks off.
Brakes: Heavy traffic and crowded parking lots mean more braking than usual. Listen for any squeaks or grinding and pay attention to how your brakes feel when you press the pedal.
