Undas is a time for honoring loved ones and reconnecting with family. But for many Filipinos, it also means long drives, packed highways, and unpredictable road conditions. As you gear up for the journey, Prestone®, the #1 Brake Fluid and Coolant in the Philippines, reminds you: don’t let car troubles turn your trip into a horror story.
Here are the top road mishaps to avoid—and how Prestone helps keep your Undas trip smooth, safe, and stress-free:
The Flat Tire Fright
You’re just minutes from your hometown when—bam!—a tire blows. Whether it’s a stray nail or worn-out tread, a flat tire can ruin your schedule.
Avoid it by:
- Checking tire pressure and tread depth
- Bringing a spare, jack, and tools
- Inspecting for cracks or bulges before you roll out
The Battery Betrayal
After a quick stopover, your car won’t start. A drained battery is a common villain during long weekends.
Prevent it by:
- Testing your battery before the trip
- Cleaning corrosion from terminals
- Turning off accessories when parked
The Brake Breakdown
You’re crawling through traffic when your brakes go soft. It’s every driver’s nightmare—and often caused by old brake fluid or worn pads.
Stay safe by:
- Scheduling a brake check-up at your nearest talyer/car shop.
- Replacing brake fluid regularly
- Listening for squeaks or grinding sounds
The Engine Overheat Horror
Halfway through your journey, steam rises from the hood. Your engine’s overheated—and you’re stuck.
Solve it with:
