Your June road trip checklist: Prep your car for weekend adventures.

June on the Gold Coast brings cooler temps, fewer crowds, and the perfect excuse to hit the road. Whether you're cruising up to the Sunshine Coast, winding through the Hinterland, or heading to Byron, it pays to get your car road-trip ready. At Gold Coast Car Clearance, we've got your back with this essential June Road-Trip checklist.

1. Check Tyres for Safety and Comfort

Before you hit the highway, inspect your tyres for wear, tear, and pressure. Under-inflated tyres can hurt fuel economy and grip and nobody wants a blowout in the middle of nowhere and don’t forget the spare!

2. Top Up Fluids

Long drives demand top performance. Make sure your oil, coolant, brake fluid, windscreen washer fluid, and transmission fluid are all at healthy levels.

3. Test Your Lights & Wipers

Shorter days and cooler nights mean visibility matters. Ensure headlights, brake lights, and indicators are all functioning. And those wipers? They need to be streak-free and silent not squeaky and smeared.

4. Pack a Road Trip Emergency Kit

Be ready for anything! Include jumper cables, a torch, basic tools, phone charger, water, snacks, and a first aid kit.

5. Need an upgrade before hitting the road
