PRETORIA (THURSDAY, December 4, 2025) - As families prepare for the upcoming holiday travel season, ensuring vehicle safety is more important than ever.
Nissan South Africa urges all drivers to schedule a comprehensive evaluation with an authorised dealer before hitting the road. For this reason, the company is running a dedicated summer vehicle health check campaign that runs until 31 January, whereby customers can get their Nissan vehicle’s key systems inspected for only R199.
“Increased travel volume, heavier vehicle loads, and long-distance driving during the holidays make professional inspections critical to preventing breakdowns and accidents,” said Freddie Louw, General Manager: Aftersales South Africa & Sub Sahara Africa at Nissan Motor Corporation.
“A summer holiday trip should be worry-free. That is why a safety check by a certified Nissan technician ensures essential components like brakes, tyres, suspension, battery, lights, fluids, and more, are functioning optimally. This also reduces the chance of roadside breakdowns and keeps your family safe throughout the journey.”
Louw explained that authorised dealers employ factory-trained technicians who understand your Nissan vehicle inside and out. Their expertise ensures that potential issues, often invisible to the untrained eye, are identified and fixed before they become hazards.
Another reliability consideration is that authorised dealers guarantee the use of genuine manufacturer-approved parts. This means that any repairs or replacements meet strict safety and performance standards, reducing the risk of component failure during long journeys.
“Many modern vehicles rely on electronics and integrated safety systems. Nissan Service Centres use specialised diagnostic equipment designed specifically for your vehicle, allowing them to detect hidden faults and calibrate safety features such as ABS, airbags, and driver-assist systems,” said Louw.
Having your vehicle inspected and serviced at an authorised dealer helps maintain your warranty and service plan coverage. Unauthorised repairs or non-genuine parts can void warranties - something travellers don’t want to discover during a holiday emergency.
With peak summer travel season approaching, appointment slots at Nissan dealers fill up quickly. Owners are encouraged to schedule their pre-trip safety inspections as early as possible.
“When you choose us to take care of your Nissan, you choose the best value, from a team you can trust,” said Louw. “Nissan has an extensive dealer network that covers the length and breadth of South Africa, as well as neighbouring countries. So, Nissan owners can rest assured that their vehicle is in good hands no matter where they travel these December holidays.”
