Memorial Day weekend is just around the corner. This holiday is particularly exciting as it marks the beginning of summer for many. Pools open, cold weather is "officially" over, and school is almost out. As the last major holiday weekend before the Fourth of July, families enjoy the final road trip before children are off to camp or summer school!
Memorial Day Celebrations
It is not uncommon to host family reunions, graduation parties, prom parties or even end-of-school-year parties during Memorial Day Weekend. In fact, any excuse to clean out the pool and turn on the grill that weekend is a going to be a great idea. For some, the festivities are hosted by someone else – the family member or friend who always plans the perfect summer party. But before you pack the car up with food and kids, it is important to ensure your car is ready for the road.

Thankfully, Glass America has mobile service almost everywhere in the country. Glass America technicians come to you – wherever is convenient! Chips are not uncommon when driving on highways or even dirt roads – like on the way to a campsite or other more rural area in the US.

Safety Tips
- Inspect your vehicle for chips and cracks; contact Glass America if you need an immediate repair.
- Make sure to take breaks every 100 miles to ensure you are not falling asleep behind the wheel. The easiest and most effective way to avoid accidents is to remain alert, under all circumstances.
