He has asked Iringa residents and its surrounding areas to kindly bring their vehicles for free preliminary checkup and professional diagnosis which will done by qualified the master diagnosis technicians.

Rashid said they want support police and the government to avert some unnecessary road traffic accidents because some accidents were caused by the vehicles with technical fault which has not been inspected time after time. 

In addition he said that Toyota client's week is a unique opportunity for Toyota cars only. 

"We intend to support the efforts of the Police Force and the Government in general to reduce road accidents caused by the default cars", said Seif Rashidi. 

However, Rashid said that there were ways which would help in solving the problem of road accidents in Iringa and Tanzania in general.
