Meet AutoBuddy – Your Road Safety Buddy
AutoZone has a new team member and he’s already making friends wherever he goes.
Meet AutoBuddy – Your Road Safety Buddy.
You’ll soon be seeing him at store openings, community events, exhibitions, schools and family days across South Africa. Whether he’s handing out high fives, posing for selfies or showing off his dance moves, AutoBuddy is there for one reason – to make road safety fun for the whole family.
Because while he loves to make people smile, he also has an important job to do.
AutoBuddy helps children learn simple road safety habits through games, interactive activities, and plenty of laughter. At the same time, he reminds parents that keeping a vehicle properly maintained is one of the simplest ways to help protect the people who matter the most.
“AutoBuddy is all about making road safety approachable,” says Krystle Stewien, Marketing Manager at AutoZone. “Children learn best when they’re having fun, and AutoBuddy gives us a wonderful way to share important safety messages while creating memorable experiences for families. We hope he’ll become a familiar face in communities across South Africa.”
Every time AutoBuddy makes an appearance, he’ll be helping spread a simple message – safer roads start with all of us. Whether that’s buckling up, crossing the road safely, or making sure your vehicle is in good condition, every small action makes a difference.
So, if you see a new friendly buddy at your next AutoZone event, be sure to stop by, say hello, snap a selfie and join the fun. AutoBuddy can’t wait to meet you!
