While ensuring a comfortable journey inside the car is important, it should not be at the expense of vital checks. Dan Joyce, operations director at Kwik Fit, says: “While good music can make a journey more enjoyable, even the best curated playlist isn’t going to keep a car running smoothly. We recommend holidaymakers allocate enough time to make basic checks over their cars – especially considering the likelihood of experiencing very hot weather, either across the Channel or here in the UK.
