With the festive season approaching and travel plans taking shape across South Africa, Nissan South Africa is encouraging motorists to prioritise vehicle safety before setting off. Families preparing for long journeys can benefit from the company’s summer vehicle health check campaign, which runs until 31 January and offers a comprehensive inspection for only R199.
Freddie Louw, General Manager for Aftersales South Africa and Sub Sahara Africa at Nissan Motor Corporation, highlights the importance of taking precautions before embarking on holiday trips. “Increased travel volume, heavier vehicle loads, and long distance driving during the holidays make professional inspections critical in order to prevent breakdowns and accidents,” he says.
He adds that a worry-free journey begins with a safety check performed by a certified Nissan technician, who ensures that essential components such as brakes, tyres, suspension, battery, lights and fluids are functioning at their best.
Nissan emphasises that its authorised dealers use factory trained technicians who understand each model thoroughly. This expertise allows them to identify hidden problems early, preventing them from escalating into costly or dangerous failures. The use of manufacturer approved parts further ensures that vehicles remain reliable during long trips and that safety standards are maintained.
Modern vehicles rely heavily on electronics and advanced safety systems. Nissan’s specialised diagnostic equipment allows technicians to detect unseen faults and ensure that systems such as ABS and airbags operate correctly. Having the vehicle inspected at an authorised dealer also helps motorists maintain their warranty and service plan coverage.
With demand rising as the holiday season gets closer, Nissan urges drivers to secure their booking soon. Motorists can learn more or schedule their summer vehicle health check by visiting https://www.nissan.co.za/owners/specials/service-summer-offer-2025.html
