Whether you are a hard-core travel aficionado or simply love revving up the engines for a weekend getaway to find solace in the lap of Mother Nature, ensuring everything is just perfect for the long drive will make your journey a hassle-free one. Here are a few things you need to check out both before hitting the road and during the journey to feel the thrill of the long drive.
Thorough Car Checkup
Prior to burning the rubber on a long drive, get a thorough car checkup done. Take your car for a quick servicing session and ask a reliable mechanic in your area to check each of the parts meticulously for any rattling sound or faults. Inspect the tires for the right amount of pressure, the car engine, brakes and steering. Look at the headlights, signal lights, horn, and the wipers to see if they are working fine. Undergo a wheel balancing check to ensure greater pleasure while driving on highways.
While your mechanic is inspecting your car, ensure he is checking the coolant level and battery condition and age. The age of your car’s battery should also be taken into consideration as batteries have a typical life span of 3 to 5 years. Hence, if it has already been 4 or 5 years since you have bought your battery or car, get a new battery to ensure it does not throw tantrums on the way and mar your journey. MyTVS offers a package that is designed to meet all these needs! The “Go For a Long Drive” pre-checkup package will get your car in perfect running condition in no time!
Load it with Fuel
Of course, you do not want to be in a situation where your petrol or diesel meter blinks with low fuel when there is no fuel station in sight on highways. So load your car with a full tank of fuel before hitting the road.
Tool it Up
You never know when an emergency might arise. Stack up your car with all necessary tools and of course, enlighten yourself on how to use them. Keep the MyTVS car helpline number at hand!
Take Rest
Taking breaks during a long car journey is essential, for you as well as your car. Stop by an inn on the roadside, munch on some snacks, sip on a cup of coffee, stretch your limbs, take a quick walk, and breathe in fresh air. This way you will feel energized while your vehicle will also get some time to cool down. Taking a break every two to three hours also ensures you do not lose focus while driving.
For any emergency breakdown on road, do not hesitate to call our crossroads car helpline car breakdown service number and we, at My TVS, will be happy to be of assistance to you anywhere 24/7.
