The car is in a pretty good shape, gently driven by my wife. I maintain it, so the car rarely sees a pro mechanic. It has ~73k miles, ATX, 4cyl. What could I do before the trip? Tranny oil, filters and fluids, spark plugs/wires/coil (coil died) are done. Timing belt and serpentine belt were done lately. Tires have been just rotated, will have them aligned after I take a look at the brakes this weekend. I was thinking of the alternator... can brushes be replaced? Thanks, 95ContourGL
