What does Holiday & Long-Trip Check involve at Alpay Servis?
Carried out before a long journey, the holiday check reviews the critical points — tyres, brakes, fluid levels, lighting and more — so you set off with genuine peace of mind.
Why long trips deserve their own check
A car that behaves perfectly on the daily commute is not automatically ready for a thousand-kilometre summer journey. Motorway speeds, full load, luggage, passengers and high ambient temperatures stress every system at once — tyres run hotter, brakes work harder, cooling systems operate at their limit. The holiday check exists to review exactly these points before you leave, not after something makes itself known far from home.
What we go through
- Tyres: tread depth, age, pressures — including the spare or repair kit
- Brakes: pad thickness, disc condition and fluid
- Fluid levels: engine oil, coolant, washer fluid and more
- Lighting and wipers: full function check
- Air conditioning: cooling performance for hot-weather driving
- Battery and charging system: fit for sustained long-distance duty
The logic behind the timing
Book the check a sensible margin before departure. Most findings — a worn set of pads, a tired battery, a low fluid level — are quick to put right when there is time, and stressful when discovered the evening before you leave. Findings are always reported to you first; work proceeds only with your approval.
Before you set off
The check is available for many makes and models at our workshop in Bornova, İzmir. Arrange an appointment through the online form or by phone, tell us roughly where you are heading and how loaded the car will be, and we will review the vehicle accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance of the trip should I book the check?
A reasonable margin before departure is ideal: it leaves time to correct anything that is found, without last-day panic. The check is carried out with your planned route and load in mind.
What problems appear most often before long journeys?
Tyres with low tread or advanced age, neglected brake pads, low fluid levels and weakening batteries are the most frequent findings. None of them is dramatic around town — at motorway speed with a fully loaded car, each becomes a genuine risk.
Why is the air conditioning part of a holiday check?
On summer journeys, air conditioning is not just comfort — it helps keep the driver alert over long distances. If cooling performance is low, the cause is investigated and a solution is proposed to you.
