Kuala Lumpur, 25 July 2013 – Road safety is everyone’s responsibility and Honda Malaysia would like to instill this message to all motorists during this festive season.  Following the positive response of the Road Safety activities undertaken last year, Honda Malaysia is extending it to include a Free 22-Point Inspection at select PLUS Highway Rest Stop and Service Areas for all Honda cars that will be on the road this coming Hari Raya peak travel period.

The Honda 22-Point Inspection free service will be available at four main locations during the Hari Raya ‘Balik Kampung’ period, covering North-Bound traffic and South-Bound traffic.

Honda Malaysia’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Yoichiro Ueno said, “Safety is always our priority. There are three key aspects that help ensure safer roads - the car, road conditions and human factor i.e. drivers. This Road Safety activity during festive season is part of our efforts to educate on easy safety steps and address the human factor aspect. Besides our efforts in ensuring high level of safety in all Honda vehicles, we are also committed towards promoting safer roads as we dream of a day where there will be zero road accidents.”

“We hope to contribute to the joy of Malaysian motorists during this Hari Raya celebration with this friendly reminder to practise good car maintenance and be extra observant when traffic is heavy. I would like to encourage all Honda owners to service and inspect their vehicles at any of our 64 dealers nationwide especially before travelling with family members for a smoother and safer journey ahead,” he added.

All Honda owners who are traveling in the weekend just before Hari Raya are welcomed to have their cars inspected on 4 main inspection sections of fluid, basic function, system and exterior of vehicle. This free inspection will take about 10-15 minutes per car and is not meant to replace the maintenance or service required. It will however, act as a stop-gap measure for motorists who have forgotten to check their cars before starting the journey. It aims to contribute towards a safer and hassle-free journey for motorists.

This value-added service offered by Honda Malaysia aims to further cement their customers trust and give them invaluable peace of mind as they travel back to their hometowns.
