Specialized automotive experts from a leading diagnostic platform revealed extremely important information for drivers regarding potential technical risks during summer travel. The study, presented on July 27, 2025, identified five critical systems that require mandatory preventive maintenance before long-term routes.

According to specialists from the Carly platform, the most vulnerable automotive components include the battery system, cooling mechanism, air conditioning installation, engine oil, and tires. Preventive diagnostics can prevent potential technical failures that could compromise the journey.

The expert recommendation includes a detailed preliminary check: measuring the electrical voltage of the battery, checking antifreeze and brake fluid levels, inspection of the refrigerant and air conditioning compressor, precise review of oil levels in the engine and transmission, as well as a thorough examination of tires regarding pressure and wear level.

Professionals emphasize that investing just a few minutes in pre-trip technical diagnostics can significantly reduce the risks of unexpected mechanical problems and potential delays during the journey.
