With the new school year set to kick off, many parents will find themselves back in the driver’s seat – literally. Whether you are bringing your kids to their classes early in the morning, driving them to their after-school activities, or picking them up from an out-of-town field trip, the daily routine can become a delicate juggling act.
Amid schedules and obligations, simplifying things whenever you can helps! And when it comes to getting everyone from point A to point B without a hitch, having a dependable vehicle—and taking good care of it—is key.
Here are a few smart hacks to make the school year’s road trips smoother, less stressful, and more efficient.
- Start every day on the Right Foot (and the Right Fuel)
A chaotic morning can unravel fast if your car is dealing with unexpected maintenance issues. These can be caused by dirty fuels that allow deposits to build up in your car’s fuel system. That’s why you must choose a fuel that helps keep your engine clean and running efficiently.
To have more seamless morning trips, parents can consider fueling their cars with Caltex with Techron®. This is formulated to improve mileage, reduce emissions, and minimize engine deposits—an easy way to support your car’s health with every refuel
- Streamline Your Stops
Whether you’re headed to school drop-offs, work meetings, or after-school activities, every stop matters. Having access to fuel stations that are not only conveniently located but also offer quick maintenance services can make life easier.
Some Caltex stations double as one-stop hubs with its Caltex Havoline AutoPro workshop. These workshops offer 22-point check services, such as oil changes, brake checks, and battery replacements, performed by Caltex’s expert mechanics. That means you can knock a few items off your to-do list without needing a separate weekend appointment at the auto shop.
- Prep for Longer Drives, Too
With schools opting to have their annual field trips out of town, you might prefer to pick your children up at the location itself. This way, you can already have the peace of mind that your children will go home safely after a long day.
However, the trips to these field trip locations can be long and arduous. Fortunately, Caltex’s stations make for ideal pit stops. You can either grab a quick bite at 7-Eleven, Jollibee, or PICKUP COFFEE.
“At Caltex, we are committed to making Filipino motorists’ journeys more comfortable and hassle-free. We continuously strive to enhance our products and services to better support your everyday travel needs,” said Billy Liu, General Manager of Caltex Philippines.
