How to find the work done by a car traveling a certain distance?

I have a car of weight 1521.3 kg. The car travels 117482m. I make the assumption that the coefficient of static friction between a car tire and the road is .7 and the car is a four wheeled car. Ignoring drag and other intricacies, how do I solve for the amount of Work done, in Joules by the car to travel this distance?
