When you're driving to and from work, are you thinking about the possibility of a breakdown? Whether we're dealing with a mechanical breakdown or inclement weather, we need to be safe on the road. So, here are some items to help get us through until we can get help.
Gloves
Water
Coolant
Pack some gloves in an area in your vehicle that is easily accessible in case you have to do any work that is operator level. You'll be glad you're not burning your hands on hot parts.
Bring some water, it's important to stay hydrated, and you would be surprised how quickly you can become dehydrated, which elevates the danger of your situation.
If your car is overheating then you most likely have a coolant leak. Pour some coolant in the reservoir and keep an eye on your heat gauge. Generally, if you are in the area, this may be enough to get you to our service center here at Dick Poe Dodge Ram in El Paso, TX.
The road isn't exactly the safest place to be, but these items are must haves in your roadside kit.
