Ensure a safe summer balik-adventure

Meanwhile, Prestone reminds you to check your vehicle’s car parts and fluids before embarking on your summer journey for hassle-free and safe travel on the road.

 

“Vehicles provide more effort during long-distance driving. To avoid automobile breakdowns or mishaps in the middle of the road and guarantee that they are in good condition this summer season, owners should inspect their components and fluids, particularly BLOCBAGETS – meaning brakes, lights, oil, coolant, battery, air, gas, engine, tires, and self. In addition, vehicle owners should make this practice a habit whenever they are about to take a journey, long or short, to prevent road accidents,” said Monique Gonzales, Marketing Manager for Southeast Asia at Clorox International Philippines, Inc.
