What to Check Before Your Holiday Trip
Planning a road trip? Before you set off, make sure your vehicle is ready for the journey ahead with CMH Ford Ballito’s comprehensive pre-holiday inspection. A safe trip starts with a reliable car—here’s what we check:
CMH Ford Ballito's Pre-Holiday Inspection Includes:
- Lights & Indicators: Confirm all lights, including headlights, brake lights, and indicators, are fully functional.
- Wipers & Windscreen: Inspect the condition of your wiper blades and ensure the windscreen is clear of any cracks or chips.
- Tyres: Check tread depth, scan for signs of wear or damage, and verify tyre pressure is at the correct level.
- Brakes: Test braking responsiveness and listen for unusual noises.
- Fluid Levels: Top up or replace engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid as needed.
- Battery: Check for corrosion and make sure the battery is fully charged.
- Belts & Hoses: Look for any signs of wear or cracks to avoid breakdowns.
- Air Conditioning: Ensure your A/C system is in top shape to keep things cool and comfortable.
Why Schedule Your Check Early?
We recommend doing these checks at least two weeks before you hit the road. This gives you ample time for repairs or maintenance—so you can travel stress-free.
