Gripped Tires
Your car tyres should have a decent grip on them for better traction on slippery roads during the rainy season. Gripped tyres are a must for efficient braking as they complement the functioning of brakes on slippery terrains. If your car tyres have lost their grip due to wear and tear, you should immediately replace them with a new set of tyres. Additionally, you should also keep an extra tyre in your boot space for unforeseen circumstances.
Anti-rust Treatment
Anti-rust treatment is one of the most efficient methods to avoid rust on the body parts of the car due to the corrosive nature of rainwater. Usually done as an anti-rust coating, this treatment protects your car from the harm of rain. You can also prefer underbody coating and paint protection coating to make your car ready for the rain. All this can be done at the authorized service centre of your car's manufacturer.
Battery Inspection
If you have been using your car for over 3 years, you should book an inspection appointment for your car's battery which can become weak over time. Another major reason for the battery damage could be keeping the car standing at parking for longer durations. So, we suggest you have your car's battery inspected by a professional or authorized service centre. This can help you avoid getting stuck in traffic during the rainy season.
Proper Braking
Your car should have an efficient braking system especially when the roads become slippery during the rainy season. A proper braking system helps you to stay stress-free about the safety of you and your loved ones. We suggest you have a checkup for your braking system before this monsoon. If there is some flaw, get it fixed immediately.
Insurance Policy
Having decent financial backing for your vehicle also becomes very important especially when we already have an idea of future possibilities. You should have a comprehensive third-party insurance policy for your car which provides much better coverage than the mandatory third-party insurance.
Features of a Good insurance policy:
