Must Have Car Parts for Your Next Road Trip

If you’re taking any long trips in your Dodge car this summer, there are some spare Dodge parts you should always have with you. Here are some suggestions from the experts at Helfman Dodge Chrysler Jeep® RAM FIAT.

Spare Tire

You should make sure that you have your spare tire and that it’s inflated. If you’ve ever had to replace a flat in the past, you may have forgotten to pick up a new one and place it back in its spot in your trunk or under your SUV’s floor. Make sure that this donut is inflated and in its proper place.

You should also check to make sure that you have the tools needed to change your tire. A jack and lug wrench should always be with your spare.

Tire Pressure Gauge

This small tool can tell you if your tires are properly inflated. This is especially important in the summer months, when the heat can cause your tire pressure to increase. That might not seem like a big deal to you, but improperly inflated tires can wear down faster and struggle to offer the traction you need.

Emergency Kit

If you do end up in a situation where you have to change a flat or address another mechanical issue, it’s a good idea to have an emergency kit that contains items like reflectors, first aid supplies, flashlights, and phone chargers.

Wiper Blades

New wipers are pretty easy to install and don’t take up much space. If you notice that your current blades are worn out and leaving behind streaks on your windshield, pop on some new ones and make sure that you don’t run into any visibility issues for the rest of your journey.
