This quick, professional inspection is designed to give drivers peace of mind before heading out on the road, whether they’re behind the wheel of the all-new J5 or the top-of-the-range C9 SHS. “Our trained technicians will examine key safety and reliability items to help identify any concerns early, thereby reducing the risk of unexpected issues during long-distance travel,” the manufacturer states.

During the visit, the team will conduct a brief assessment of essential components, including tyres, brakes, lights, wipers, battery condition, fluid levels and general road-trip readiness. If anything needs attention, customers will be notified immediately so they can make informed decisions before they travel.

Where needed, guidance and practical recommendations will be provided to ensure the customer’s vehicle is prepared for the demands of summer driving, whether that means replacing a wear-and-tear item or suggesting useful holiday travel tips. Any additional work can be booked at a time that suits the customer.

“South Africans have a deep love for the open road. Whether it’s a drive to the coast, a visit to family, or a summer escape with friends,” says Shannon Gahagan, National Brand and Marketing Manager for OMODA & JAECOO South Africa.

“With so many of us travelling long distances at this time of year, it’s important that every journey starts with confidence. Our complimentary holiday vehicle health check reassures customers that their vehicles are prepared for the trip ahead, helping them focus on what really matters: enjoying the adventure, safely,” she says.
