Johannesburg – Hyundai Automotive South Africa today announced a special value-add initiative for all Hyundai owners across the country: free complimentary pre-holiday vehicle checks available at any Hyundai dealership.
As holiday journeys typically bring increased mileage, heavier traffic and variable road conditions, Hyundai’s free vehicle check provides customers with the assurance that their cars are in optimal conditions before setting off. The inspections cover key safety and performance areas, including tyres, brakes, fluid levels, battery health, lights and general mechanical condition.
Stanley Anderson, CEO of Hyundai Automotive South Africa says this customer-focused program aims to ensure that all Hyundai customers travel with peace of mind. “Our customers’ safety is our top priority. The complimentary pre-holiday vehicle check is part of our ongoing commitment to deliver exceptional value, reliability and service at every stage of a Hyundai vehicle ownership.”
All Hyundai customers are invited to visit their nearest dealership at their convenience to take advantage of the offer. No booking fee applies and dealerships are equipped to assist with any follow-up maintenance or repairs identified during the check.
In addition, the company is urging motorists to prioritize safe and responsible driving during festive season, taking into consideration the number of fatalities during this period. “No matter how advanced a vehicle’s safety features are, nothing replaces the importance of responsible behaviour behind the wheel,” emphasized Anderson.
Most Hyundai models are equipped with advanced technologies, including lane-keeping assist, forward collision warning and fatigue detection systems that prompt drivers to take breaks when needed. The latter, evaluates driving patterns to detect signs of drowsiness or inattention, one of the leading contributors to festive-season crashes.
“The greatest safety feature in any Hyundai vehicle will always be the person behind the wheel, making a conscious decision to stay alert, sober and protecting other drivers on the road,” urged Anderson.
