July 4th Road Trip Prep | Santa Fe News

Over 61 million Americans are hitting the road this Fourth of July—traffic chaos and car trouble ahead. Mechanics urge pre-trip checks: batteries, tires, and that dashboard TPMS light. AAA reports 700K roadside calls last year, mostly for dead batteries and flats. Check tire tread with a penny—if Lincoln’s head’s visible, it’s time to replace. If the TPMS light flashes, pull over or visit a shop. Avoid rush hour by hitting the road early or late. Stay safe, stay smooth, and enjoy the holiday.
