The free inspection service covers a wide range of vehicle checks, including tire condition, fluid levels, battery health, and air conditioning efficiency. These services are crucial during the summer months, when high temperatures can exacerbate existing vehicle issues, leading to potential hazards on the road.
General Maktoum Ali Al Sharifi, Director General of Abu Dhabi Police, emphasized the importance of this collaboration in promoting safe driving practices. “Our partnership with ADNOC Distribution ensures that motorists can travel safely and confidently, knowing their vehicles are in optimal condition,” he stated. This program also aims to reduce the number of vehicle-related incidents, thereby contributing to the overall safety of Abu Dhabi's roads.
Saeed Mubarak Al Rashdi, Acting CEO of ADNOC Distribution, highlighted the initiative as part of the company's broader strategy to provide innovative and valuable services to its customers. “By offering these free inspections, we are helping our customers maintain their vehicles better and promoting a culture of proactive vehicle care,” Al Rashdi explained. He also noted that the initiative aligns with ADNOC's commitment to safety and customer service excellence.
In addition to the complimentary inspections, ADNOC Distribution is enhancing its Vehicle Inspection Centres (VICs) across the Emirate. These enhancements include the introduction of express inspection services and the expansion of inspection bays to accommodate the growing number of vehicles. This expansion will help reduce wait times and improve service efficiency, ensuring a better customer experience.
The partnership between Abu Dhabi Police and ADNOC Distribution also involves extending inspection services beyond traditional centers. Plans are in place to offer vehicle checks at various shopping centers, making the service more accessible to the public. This move is expected to increase the number of vehicles inspected and improve overall road safety in Abu Dhabi.
ADNOC Distribution has been a key player in the vehicle inspection sector since 2000, continuously upgrading its services to meet international standards. The company invests in the training of its technical staff, ensuring they are equipped with the latest skills and knowledge to perform efficient and accurate vehicle inspections. This commitment to excellence has significantly reduced the time required for inspections, from an average of 25 minutes to less than 10 minutes per vehicle.
This initiative by Abu Dhabi Police and ADNOC Distribution reflects their shared vision of a safer and more efficient road system. By providing free and accessible vehicle inspections, they are not only promoting safer driving practices but also enhancing the overall driving experience for residents and visitors in Abu Dhabi.
