Packing the right items in the car before that holiday road trip could make all the difference in getting to the destination on schedule or sitting on the side of the highway instead of enjoying yourself.
Set aside time to pack these essentials before you roll out your driveway.
- Keep a tire gauge within easy reach because you want to check the tire pressure in all tires when you stop to get gas on the trip.
- Bring a bag with assorted tools so you can make a fast repair and get to a service station on your own.
- Keep a gallon of engine coolant in the car in case your engine does overheat.
- Bring a roll of duct tape to patch anything you can quickly.
- Road flares are essential for getting the attention of other motorists.
Be sure you leave a little time to stop by XIT Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram for your regularly scheduled vehicle road trip inspection.
