Remember when you were a kid and all of your problems can be solved by ice cream?
A road trip is like ice cream, it makes everyone’s life a little better.
How many of your fondest memories of family and friends happened on road trips? How many ties were rekindled during those impromptu adventures with your friends?
How many adventures and life-defining experiences were results of that long drive.
Road Trips are part of Philippine culture perhaps more so than in most other countries. Especially if you are living in the city and traffic is nearly 24/7, a long drive is both a good exercise for you and your car.
For a lot of Filipino families with relatives living in nearby provinces a road trip can even be a weekly occurrence because it is the best way to stay connected. A road trip is release, joy, freedom, and love.
But in a country where poorly maintained roads, and epic traffic jams in sweltering heat are the norm rather than the exception, you have to make a lot of precautions to make that your Road Trip doesnt lead to Road Rage.
Besides having a complete checklist of all the safety measures for your car another good investment is signing up for for 24/7 nationwide Emergency Roadside Assistance and towing.
But why pay for Emergency Roadside Assistance when you can get it for free is even thanks to Goodyear’ new new and improved Worry Free Assurance, the first, latest, and most comprehensive warranty coverage from Goodyear Philippines.
In the cutthroat automotive industry that has enjoyed a streak of three consecutive record breaking years in terms of sales, a lot of dealers now include Emergency Roadside Assistance as a part of their warranties, especially on premium vehicles. The thing is though, this is the Philippines where 10 year old cars are common, and as a people we tend to be sentimental about our cars and to hang on to them well over five years. One of the concerns with Emergency Roadside Assistance attached to a vehicle warranty is that older car owners can’t benefit from it.
That is the beauty of Goodyear’s Worry Free Assurance now Emergency Roadside Assistance is attached not to a car that will last 10-15 years but to a set or even just a pair of tires that will last between up to 3 years depending on mileage and vehicle condition; and there is no tire company in the Philippines more reputable than Goodyear.
Goodyear is virtually a household name in the Philippines, it is one of the biggest and oldest tire companies in the world. If any company has the stability, the knowhow, and the resources to confidently offer a 24/7 Emergency Roadside Assistance nationwide in the Philippines, it is Goodyear.
“During a road trip average speeds are higher, vehicles are more heavily loaded, drivers tend to be more distracted and need to log more hours behind the wheel. In more rural areas, roads tend to be rougher, and road hazards are more frequent. It is road trips that really test car, tire, and driver, says GoodYearPH Market Director Kenneth Sambajon.
“It is Road Therapy that drives us to build ever better products, tires that grip better, that are more durable, that are more resistant to damage from road hazards, that have treads that handle wet or even muddy roads better. For us it is a never ending quest for perfection.”
Sambajon notes that as vital as the right tires are to road safety, they are only part of the road safety equation, and the only part of the equation that we have any measure of control over as tire builders.
“At Goodyear, we take safety seriously, we don’t see ourselves as just tire builders who deliver superior tires. At Goodyear, we are in the business of providing not just tires, but safety, and peace of mind. That’s why Goodyear alone offers services above and beyond what is expected of tire companies.”
Of the tire companies in the country, only Goodyear operates the widest network of service centers. We have over 100 Goodyear Autocare outlets all over the country, tires are after all are consumable, and replacing them should be as convenient as possible. Because of the vital nature of tires, our Autocare outlets are run by trained professionals who are uniquely qualified to make sure your vehicle and tires are in the right condition to maximize your safety and your driving experience.
