Having the car in good shape is the first step towards having a great drive. Here are some of teh tips for a long drive

Tip1: The locales may be fantastic, but a car that gives up midway is only going to spoil your vacation and make you wish you had stayed home. For maximum effectiveness, have the car serviced a week before departure. This will enable you to rectify loose ends left by the service centre, like loose wheel nuts for instance.


Tip 2: At the time of servicing, all belts, hoses, wiper blades etc. should be checked for damages and replaced if any damaged is noticed.

Tip 3:If you are planning to travel at night, do check the headlight for brightness. Also keep in mind the focus of beam - correct its level keeping in mind the passenger and luggage weight which will lower the rear end of your car and make the beam point more upwards.

Tip 4:Remember without fail to check all the tyres. Make sure the inspection is thorough - check the side walls from inside for injuries, wear or developing ruptures which can result in blowups at highway speeds. Indian highway traffic has gotten faster and you wouldn't want an eventuality like that on them. Don't forget to include your spare wheel in the check!.
