How to Prevent a Car Breakdown Before a Long Trip Around Northland
Planning a road trip through Northland? Whether you’re heading to the Bay of Islands, Cape Reinga, or exploring the Tutukaka Coast, the last thing you want is a breakdown ruining your journey.
Here’s how to prepare your vehicle before hitting the road — and reduce the risk of car trouble along the way.
1. Check Your Battery
Why it matters:
A weak or ageing battery is one of the top reasons cars break down — especially on early-morning starts or after long drives with heavy electrical use.
What to do:
Tip: Snow Bros offers free battery health checks in Whangarei.
2. Inspect Tyres and Pressure
Why it matters:
Underinflated or worn tyres can lead to blowouts or poor grip on unfamiliar roads — especially on Northland’s winding or gravel roads.
What to do:
3. Top Up Fluids
Why it matters:
Fluids are essential to keeping your engine running smoothly and avoiding overheating or mechanical failure.
What to check:
Tip: Bring top-up bottles of oil and water just in case.
4. Test Your Lights, Wipers & Indicators
Why it matters:
Night driving, fog, and Northland’s sudden rain showers demand good visibility.
What to do:
5. Listen for Unusual Noises or Vibrations
Why it matters:
Strange sounds or shaking could be early signs of a mechanical issue that could worsen over a long trip.
What to do:
Bonus Tip: Keep a Breakdown Kit Onboard
