#TravelPH - Don’t Let Your Undas Road Trip Turn Into a Car Horror Story
Undas season is all about family, tradition, and those long-awaited road trips to the province. But let’s be honest—nothing ruins the mood faster than car trouble in the middle of a packed highway. Whether you’re heading out at sunrise or braving the late-night drive, a little prep can mean the difference between making memories and starring in your own road mishap horror story.
Let’s talk about the classics. Flat tires? They always seem to strike when you’re just a few kilometers from home. The fix is simple: check your tire pressure before you leave, and don’t forget the spare, jack, and tools. A quick inspection can save you hours of roadside drama.
Then there’s the dreaded dead battery. Maybe you stopped for snacks, maybe your car sat idle for a few days—either way, nothing’s more frustrating than a car that won’t start. Give your battery a once-over, clean those terminals, and keep your accessories off when parked. It’s a small habit that pays off big time.
Brakes acting up in heavy traffic? That’s a nightmare no one wants. Old brake fluid, worn pads, or leaks can turn a simple drive into a scary situation. Schedule a quick check-up at your trusted talyer before the trip. Brake health isn’t negotiable, especially when you’ve got loved ones in the car.
And let’s not forget the overheating engine. Whether it’s a stalled car or steam billowing from the hood, overheating is often the result of skipped maintenance or using the wrong coolant. Prestone’s Asian Coolant and Coolant Ready To Use are lifesavers here—just pour and go, no mixing needed. With 5X Superior Cooling Protection, you’re covered against rust, corrosion, and boilover, and it’s compatible with all makes and models (even motorcycles!).
Prestone even makes it easy to pick the right coolant for your ride: Red/Pink for Toyota, Lexus, Scion; Blue for Honda, Nissan, Subaru; Green for Isuzu, Suzuki, Hyundai, KIA, Mazda, Mitsubishi. Grab yours at leading auto stores or online, but always buy from authorized retailers to keep your car—and your trip—safe.
So before you hit the road this Undas, take a few minutes to check your car. A little extra care means you’ll spend less time worrying and more time enjoying the journey with the people who matter most. Here’s to safe travels, cool engines, and road trips that end with stories you actually want to tell.
