Tips for Safe Holiday Travels Amid the Coronavirus
The 4th of July will be the first Holiday Orland Park residents are allowed to celebrate since the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic. This means residents are allowed to(safely) travel, host and attend parties, and attend firework shows – all of course within the social distance guidelines. Surging nationwide Coronavirus numbers and the lack of driving the past few weeks may deter you and your family from celebrating this weekend. We here at Mazda of Orland Park have compiled a list of tips for having a safe and healthy holiday weekend.
Get your car serviced
Before any road trip, it’s important to get your vehicle serviced. With the stay-at-home order being lifted recently it’s especially important to get your vehicles looked at since it might not have seen the light of day in quite some time. It’s easy to schedule a service appointment online at Mazda of Orland Park. Our technicians will perform routine maintenance – checking over your fluid levels and tire pressure, changing your oil, and more.
While your car is receiving service, check out our Holiday lease, finance, and cashback deals
Most of our Holiday deals expire around July 6th, so you’ll want to take advantage of these deals now! Check out our website to see the plethora of car buying and leasing incentives available to you.
Be watchful for pedestrians
With the beginning of phase 4 in Illinois, it’s likely that people will be out and about visiting friends, neighbors, and trying to see fireworks(at a safe distance). If you have to drive on Saturday, please be very careful. Pay attention to stop signs, obey crosswalks, don’t run red lights, and keep an eye out for pedestrians.
Adhere to your state’s shutdown regulations and social distancing guidelines
If you are traveling, make sure to check the rules in place along your route and at your destination. Make sure you have those extra masks, hand sanitizer, and disinfectant wipes in your glove compartment as well. The 4th of July Celebration at Centennial Park is still on. Centennial Park is a large area that allows for proper social distancing measures. The concert beings at 7:15 p.m featuring the Suburban Cowboys followed by fireworks.
Following these safety tips can ensure a safe and healthy Holiday weekend! From all of us here at Mazda of Orland Park, Happy 4th of July!
