Vehicle Maintenance Tips for Winter and Long Trips

KGM, represented in Chile by Astara, advises drivers to perform preventive maintenance before the winter season. General manager Derek Fox recommends checking the battery, tyre pressure and tread, coolant level, and following the manufacturer’s service schedule to avoid unexpected failures and costly repairs.

Experts from Todosneumaticos 365 stress the importance of inspecting tyres after long journeys, especially on electric‑powered cars. They urge measuring tyre pressure while the tyres are cold, assessing tread wear, and ensuring the spare tyre is in good condition. Proper tyre upkeep reduces wear, improves safety, and helps electric vehicles maintain range by minimizing rolling resistance.

Both sets of guidelines aim to enhance vehicle reliability, safety, and cost efficiency under demanding driving conditions.
