GOING ON A ROAD TRIP THIS SALLAH? READ THIS NOW!!!!!


Happy Id el Kabir celebration to our beloved Muslim brothers and sisters. Monday 6th and Tuesday 7th has been declared a public holiday in Nigeria. Making it four whole days(Saturday-Tuesday) of no work with lots of fun with friends and family.

If you Id el Kabir celebration include a road trip, the last thing you want is to have unexpected car trouble to leave you stranded at the side of the road, ruining all the fun. A pre-trip vehicle check is the best way to be car care aware and ensure that your car is ready to get you to your destination.


Drivers who neglect to do a  pre-trip vehicle check (even on newer cars) before taking to the highway are just begging to be stranded—most likely in the middle of nowhere, just out of range of the nearest GSM network, with hungry, tired kids in the back saying over and over, “Are we there yet?” Listed below are just a few important items that may slip your mental checklist in the rush to get bags packed for the road.










  • Check the brake system and make sure the battery connection is clean, tight and corrosion-free.
  • Check filters and fluids, including engine oil, power steering and brake and transmission, as well as windshield washer solvent and antifreeze/coolant. Dirty air filters can waste gas and cause the engine to lose power.
  • Check the hoses and belts that can become cracked, brittle, frayed, loose or show signs of excessive wear. These are critical to the proper functioning of the electrical system, air conditioning, power steering and the cooling system.
  • Check the tires, including tire pressure and tread. Underinflated tires reduce a vehicle’s fuel economy and uneven wear indicates a need for wheel alignment. Tires should also be checked for bulges and bald spots.
  • Check that the gas cap is not damaged, loose or missing to prevent gas from spilling or evaporating.
