To advocate tire checking habits before a long trip, Goodyear Malaysia recently organized a series of free tire checks around Klang Valley, stretching from Putrajaya to Bandar Utama. A total of 10,000 tires were thoroughly examined for free in the span of one week, with the effort culminating at Quill City Mall where shoppers were able to participate in the campaign.
This is part of Goodyear’s Better Future initiative, which focuses on building a safe and smart community around the world. The project aims to remind customers of the importance of road safety when travelling, especially during festive periods, and building community awareness on the crucial role that tires play in car safety.
Donned in the traditional blue of Goodyear, a total of 8 associates conducted detailed checks on 2,500 cars during the outreach period, after which, car owners were presented with a card indicating the condition of their tires and an additional free 10-point tire check when they visited participating Goodyear outlets. The event was capped off with more than 2,500 Raya Thoughtful Packs distributed to consumers, each containing Egyptian Kurma and a Goodyear Basic Tire Maintenance booklet – in preparation for buka puasa, as well as equipping users with the necessary knowledge on tire and vehicle checks before driving back to their hometowns.
“We always believe that enriching communities through such meaningful involvement and knowledge sharing are the best ways to go in building a safer world. Goodyear is conscious of and committed in playing its role to impart knowledge to the communities around us, aiming to elevate head-to-heart knowledge on road safety. Tires are a very important aspect of a car as it is the only thing that separates the road from the car. Therefore, knowing more about the reliability of their tires and their role towards road safety are essential for drivers, for a safer on-the-road experience,” said Ben Hoge, Managing Director of Goodyear Malaysia.
He also concluded: “Onwards from this initiative, we hope to assist the nation with overall preparedness from Hari Raya shopping to Hari Raya travelling, as well as to remind everyone of getting their vehicles checked for a pleasant journey ahead.”
In conjunction with the upcoming Hari Raya celebration, Goodyear is hosting a Hari Raya promotion at all participating Goodyear outlets nationwide. The promotion offers customers up to RM80 worth of AEON or Giant shopping vouchers with every purchase of four Goodyear tires, depending on the pattern purchased.
