Free Vehicle Safety Checks in UAE Summer

Free Summer Vehicle Safety Checks in UAE: Start the Season Accident-Free

Safety Even in the Heat

In the United Arab Emirates, the number of road accidents caused by technical malfunctions increases every summer, especially among drivers embarking on longer journeys. To prevent this, the Dubai Police launched the Summer Without Accidents campaign from July 1 to September 30, with several fuel stations and technical service providers joining the initiative.

As part of the initiative, drivers can take advantage of a 10-point vehicle safety check for free at AutoPro service centers within the ENOC network across the UAE. The goal: to reduce technical failures common during the summer period, which often lead to accidents.

What's Included in the Free Check?

The complimentary check offered by AutoPro examines the following critical elements:

tire pressure and wear

brake fluid and brake systems

coolant levels and hose condition

air conditioning and air filters

battery condition

headlights and wipers

serpentine and drive belts condition

These are the components most likely to malfunction under extreme summer heat, potentially causing severe consequences on the roads.

Why is this Campaign Important?

According to the Dubai Police, every summer sees a rise in traffic accidents that could have been avoided with proper maintenance. Common issues include tire blowouts, engine overheating, and brake system failures—problems that not only endanger passengers but also other road users.

The purpose of the free checks is to emphasize the importance of precaution and help drivers make informed maintenance decisions. The campaign could indirectly contribute to reducing traffic accidents and congestion.

The RTA Also Joins the Message

The Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has also launched an awareness campaign encouraging drivers to perform at least a quick visual inspection before every journey:

tire condition

engine oil and coolant levels

any leaks (oil, water) under the vehicle

This simple routine can potentially save lives.

Where is the Service Available?

The checks are available nationwide at AutoPro service centers located beside ENOC stations. The service can be availed without prior appointment, on a first-come, first-served basis, and it is completely free during the campaign period.

Summary

The Summer Without Accidents campaign serves as a reminder that a vehicle's technical condition affects not just the car's lifespan but also road safety. A quick check before a vacation is not just recommended—it’s a fundamental responsibility. Take advantage of the free opportunity and start your journey safely!
