After planning for your quick getaway with your family, you would not want your vehicle to breakdown halfway. Although there are many workshops for you to choose in JB but to be honest, do you trust these workshops?
We recommended that you should check your car’s engine oil level, brake fluid, car battery, and also the tires. If you are not sure how to check, you can always make an appointment with your workshop and ask them to help you check the necessary checks before going for your trip.
3. EXERCISE CAUTION TO YOUR SURROUNDINGS
The next thing we do not want is to have our car get stolen, and we advised to avoid parking your vehicle in secluded areas. It is also recommended to keep your valuables in the glove compartment or car booth rather than have them exposed.
The newer cars these days have some immobilizing devices installed. However, it is also useful if you can install an audible alarm. You can also have steering wheels, brake, and pedal locks which might make a car thief think twice if he sees such devices.s will prevent or stall car thieves from driving away in your vehicle.
