The season of road trips is near with oncoming monsoons, how to prepare your car?

Perhaps the best thing about the onset of monsoons is the joy of relishing our favorite kachoris, medu vadas, murukkus, samosas, pakoras, or whatever your favorite monsoon munchies are! And the next best thing is certainly the joy of stepping out and visiting your favorite destinations with friends and family on a monsoon road trip from Mumbai or where ever you’re based. While we think about these delicacies, we have some food for thought for all the car owners.

Whether you have already made your trip plans or are still to finalise some details you might have at some instant thought of preparing your car for a monsoon road trip. Because as much as we pay attention to activities and destinations for going on road trips, our vehicles are a central figure in that whole scheme of things. Let us quickly glance over all the essential monsoon road safety tips to ensure a great outing for you and your loved ones.

When it comes to monsoon car care tips, it is a great idea to get your vehicle serviced. However, if your service schedule doesn’t allow you to get the car serviced, just do the following checks and inspections: 

• Check your tire tread depth and gauge it against the recommended depth the manufacturer provides for each vehicle. If the treading is low it means your vehicle will have a very weak road grip. So then it makes all the sense to get the tires replaced to avoid any slipping on wet roads.
• Ensure your spare tire and the toolkit is fully equipped to handle emergencies.
• Get done with any major repairs like brake disc replacement or any defect in the main components and parts of the vehicle.

While one generally keeps an eye on the above points, we’re also giving you some small yet very important monsoon car care tips as well as hacks that help you go a long way, safely.
