That’s why we stock an array of essential car parts and accessories to ensure your vehicle is ready for your summer travels. From maintaining performance to enhancing comfort and safety, APD has you covered.
1. Battery Maintenance and Chargers
A reliable battery is crucial for a trouble-free journey. Before hitting the road, have your battery tested or consider replacing it if it’s near the end of its lifespan. Additionally, investing in a battery charger is a good idea, as it allows you to revive a weak battery or provide a power boost in case of emergencies. APD offers high-quality batteries and battery chargers to keep you powered up throughout your travels.
2. Tyres: Prevent Punctures or Repair Flat Tyres
Be prepared check your tyres before you travel and make sure you carry tyre repair products, like tyre sealant and puncture repair products. If you are unsure visit your local tyre centre and get expert advice. Don’t forget to equip yourself with a spare tyre, jack and tyre changing tools for added peace of mind.
3. Cooling System Maintenance
Summer heat can place a heavy load on your vehicle’s cooling system. Ensure your radiator, hoses and coolant are in good condition to prevent overheating. APD stocks top-quality cooling system parts, including radiators, water pumps and coolant, to help you maintain the correct engine temperature throughout your journey.

Have it serviced and checked for leaks, and don’t forget to clean or replace the air filters for fresh and clean airflow. APD offers a range of air conditioning parts and filters to help you beat the summer heat.
5. Lighting and Visibility
Good visibility is critical for safe driving, especially during long trips. Check your headlights, taillights, indicators and fog lights to ensure they are functioning correctly. Replace any faulty bulbs promptly. Additionally, consider upgrading to LED bulbs for improved visibility and energy efficiency. APD provides a wide range of lighting options to keep you visible on the road.
