Essential Items to Keep in your Car for Safety

In this blog post Coburg Towing’s roadside assistance experts will provide the most important things to have in your car to be ready to handle any auto problem.

Tire Changing Tools

Flat tires are likely to be the most frequent breakdown. The majority of modern cars come with tire change kits however, you should purchase one if do not have one. The tools include spare tires and car jacks , to the lug wrench and other specific tools.

Tire Sealant

If your tire is suffering from only a tiny leak that doesn’t need to be changed to the spare tire, then tire sealant might be able to complete the job until you are able to transport your car to a center for changing tires.

Jumper Cables

Dead batteries are also a reason for common breakdowns in the automotive industry. Make sure you have jumper cables inside your vehicle! If the battery in your car is out, you can signal an automobile down to get a jump, and they will help you use their battery to power your vehicle and turn on your engine! Be sure to refill the gas after the engine is turned on to ensure it is running continuously to charge the battery in your car.

First Aid and Water / Snacks

Always keep a first-aid kit with you to be protected – along with snacks or emergency water in case you’re stranded, and/or waiting for assistance from the roadside. We suggest keeping the water inside your vehicle in non-plastic containers, since plastic may leach into the water when temperatures are hot.

Flashlight

Take a powerful and strong flashlight to serve as an emergency light source in case your vehicle fails to start in the dark. It’s better to use a flashlight on your phone instead of your flashlight, which obviously is dependent on the battery of your phone!
