What Should Be in Your Car Emergency Kit?

A good car emergency kit includes items for safety, basic repairs, and personal needs. Here’s what you should pack:

1. Safety Basics

·       Flashlight (with extra batteries)

·       Reflective triangles or road flares

·       Emergency blanket

·       Water bottles

·       Non-perishable snacks (like granola bars)

·       Multi-tool or pocket knife

2. First Aid Essentials

·       Bandages (variety of sizes)

·       Antiseptic wipes or ointment

·       Pain relievers

·       Gauze and tape

·       Personal medications

3. Car Repair Tools

·       Jumper cables or a portable jump starter

·       Tire repair kit and sealant

·       Spare tire and jack

·       Basic toolkit (screwdrivers, pliers, wrench)

·       Duct tape for quick fixes

·       Tow strap

4. Personal Comfort

·       Phone charger (solar-powered or portable battery pack)

·       Cash or coins

·       Pen and paper

 

What’s the Most Important Thing to Keep in Your Car?

If you can only carry one or two items, make sure you have water and a portable jump starter. A dead battery or dehydration can quickly turn into serious problems, especially in Arizona’s heat.

 

Should You Keep a Toolkit in Your Car?

Yes, a small toolkit can help with minor issues, like tightening bolts or fixing loose parts. Include basics like screwdrivers, pliers, wrenches, and duct tape. For more significant repairs, you can always count on Greasers Auto to get you back on the road.

 

Are Emergency Kits Worth It?

Absolutely! A car emergency kit is like an insurance policy—you hope you never need it, but you’ll be glad it’s there if you do. Flat tires, dead batteries, or bad weather are all less stressful when you’re prepared.

Should You Keep Matches in Your Car?

Matches or lighters can be helpful in emergencies, but be careful! Arizona’s heat can make lighters unsafe. Use waterproof matches in a heat-resistant container to avoid any issues.
