You can't guarantee that the unexpected flat tire or break-down won't happen, but your auto repair shop can help you be as prepared as possible before heading out on your road trip.  Check these out:

• Check the tires for the correct air pressure, tread wear, and if there are any bulges and bald spots. Driving on under-inflated tires lowers fuel efficiency and also increases the risk of tire damage. Uneven wear indicates a need for a wheel alignment. Do you need to purchase new tires before your trip?
• Check the hoses and belts as they can become cracked, brittle, frayed, loose or indicate signs of excessive wear. These are critical to the proper functioning of the electrical system, air conditioning, power steering, and cooling system.
• Check filters and fluids including motor oil, power steering, brake, and transmission fluids. Check the antifreeze/coolant mixture in the radiator, as well as the windshield washer solvent in the water reservoir.
• Check the lights (both interior and exterior) so that you can see and be seen. Your auto repair shop can help you replace any burned-out bulbs.
• Inspect wiper blades and replace if necessary so you can see clearly when driving during a summer rain storm.
• Check the brakes to make sure you are not sliding through stop signs.
• Check the battery to be sure the battery connection is clean, tight and corrosion-free.
• A pre-trip Tune up will help the engine deliver the best balance of power and fuel economy.

Reduce the chance of unplanned, costly car trouble by having any necessary maintenance or auto repair performed by your trusted technician before hitting the road.
