Spare Auto Parts to Keep in Your Car for Emergencies

Even if you take great care of your car and you’re careful on the road, you can run into problems and potentially dangerous situations. This is why you need to be prepared for anything, and that means keeping some Dodge parts and other items in your vehicle just in case of an emergency. Here’s what the experts at Helfman Dodge Chrysler Jeep® RAM FIAT always keep in our cars.

What Should I Keep in My Car?

If you want to be prepared for anything, you should pack a few of these items in your car:

• Spare Tire: You should always have your spare tire, a jack, and a lug wrench in your vehicle. Familiarize yourself with the method for changing a tire so that you know what to expect.
• Reflectors: While you’re changing that tire you can set up reflectors on the road around you so that other drivers can see you, even at night.
• Jumper Cables: If your battery is dead, your car’s not going anywhere. Jumper cables can let you use another car’s battery to get your vehicle started up, or you can invest in a kit that can revive a dead battery on its own.
• Water and Snacks: It’s also a good idea to store away some water and snacks in your RAM truck just in case you get stuck somewhere for a while.
• Flashlight: It can be tough to change a tire or jump a car in the dark. Having a powerful flashlight around can help.
