With just a couple of weeks to go before the holiday rush hits South Africa’s roads, cities and holiday destinations, it is important to make sure that your car is in good running order. Kerry Cassel, Managing Director of MotorHappy – an Imperial company – advises that South African motorists travelling long distances over the festive season should take some time to conduct pre-trip car-checks. Here is what to do.
Along with regular servicing and maintenance, it is important to check your car’s oil, brakes, tyres, lights and windscreen wipers in order to avoid nasty surprises or delays on your journey.
If you know what to look for, you can do it yourself. If not, it would be best to make an appointment at your dealership and have a trained technician inspect that things are as they should be.
Checking your car’s oil level is one of the most important things you can do to extend the lifespan of your car’s engine.
