With so many public holidays coming, a lot amongst us are planning a road trip as a weekend getaway. 

“A good beginning is half the battle won.” So, be it any season, you need to keep your car in good shape and serviced before a road trip. Else, a breakdown means cancelation of all the plans and even waste of your money and time for your friends and family. We at MotorOctane are committed to share 10 important  tips for stress-free road trips.

  1. Visit a service centre or your local mechanic to get your cars fluid levels checked.
