There’s nothing better than having a car and being able to travel wherever you want. However, taking a long road trip in your car requires a series of preparations before setting off to ensure a satisfying — and above all — safe driving experience throughout the journey.
The most anticipated time of the year, the holidays, is approaching. Taking into account that this time of year involves a considerable increase in traffic flow for leisure purposes, it is essential to plan your trip well to prevent any unforeseen circumstances that may arise during the road journey. From Ralarsa, window tinting workshops specialising in car glass repair and replacement, we explain how to prepare your car for a road trip.
Check the condition of your car glass
Before starting your road trip, it is essential to check the condition of your car glass, as it is one of the most important elements in a vehicle’s structural safety and prevents any object projected from the road from penetrating the interior of the car. In this way, if any incident is detected in the car’s windscreen, it is necessary to carry out a repair or replacement of the component.
If you have suffered an impact on your vehicle’s front windscreen resulting in a small crack, the quickest, most effective, and safest solution is to opt for windscreen repair. However, if the crack has a diameter larger than a two‑euro coin, it will be necessary to replace the car glass urgently.
At Ralarsa window tinting workshops, we specialise in the repair and replacement of car glass. With more than 40 years of experience and a network of over 240 centres throughout the country, at Ralarsa we guarantee a quality service with which you can resolve any type of issue with your car glass as quickly and efficiently as possible. Likewise, if you need to replace car glass urgently, the Ralarsa mobile windscreen replacement service allows you to restore your vehicle’s structural safety without needing to travel. Just tell us where and when — the Ralarsa workshop team will do the rest!
How to improve vehicle visibility on the road?
Another key aspect to consider before setting off is ensuring that the vehicle offers good visibility on the road for both the driver and other vehicles on the carriageway. To do this, it is necessary to check the condition of the car’s headlights, as inevitably, over time, the material deteriorates and becomes increasingly opaque, preventing proper vehicle visibility.
If your car’s headlights have lost their transparency since leaving the dealership, it’s time to carry out a headlight polishing. At Ralarsa workshops you can find competitive headlight polishing prices so you can enjoy excellent visibility during your road trip. Discover all of Ralarsa’s services on our website!
Maximise your safety at the wheel
When taking a trip covering many kilometres by car, the most important thing is to maximise the safety of all vehicle occupants and other drivers on the road. To this end, having car glass in perfect condition is essential.
90% of all information a driver receives behind the wheel comes through sight. Therefore, to avoid any unforeseen events during the journey, it is necessary to check the condition of the windscreen wipers — an essential component for maintaining a clear view of the road at all times. If the windscreen wipers are worn and do not clean the glass effectively, you should replace the wiper blades. Enjoy an incident‑free trip with Ralarsa workshops!
