Top Three Items Every Car Owner Needs

Owning a vehicle is a big responsibility. Vehicles need care and attention and there’s some preparation that goes into staying safe and ready on the road. To help, we at McLarty Daniel Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat in Springdale have created a list of the top three items every car owner needs. We want you to be ready for anything and never worry about being stranded!

First up, a first aid kit is a must for every vehicle. This item isn’t necessarily to keep your car running well, but to help you, your passengers and others. If an accident happens when you’re camping, at a soccer game with your Chrysler Pacifica or Voyager or on your way to a beautiful Arkansas lake, you’ll be prepared. The first aid kit can include bandages and ointment for cuts, burn cream for fire mishaps and even Advil for a swollen ankle. A first aid kit is something that isn’t needed often but when needed, it can change the outcome of the whole adventure!

Second, every car owner needs a set of jumper cables. Car batteries are unpredictable and they don’t always go bad because of user error. The battery could simply have a bad cell. If this happens, a set of jumper cables can get you from stranded to home. Jumper cables are inexpensive and they are a must-have in your vehicle. Without them, summer travel in your Grand Cherokee could be completely different.

Third, a spare tire. Again, this is the kind of item that can change your whole day and it doesn’t necessarily happen because of you, the driver. It’s hard to see a nail or a screw on the road and if you don’t avoid it you could be stuck on the side of the road and your road trip in your Ram could come to a screeching halt. A spare tire can get you up and moving instead of waiting hours on the tow truck.

When you’re on the road, we want you to be safe and responsible and we are happy to share what we know about road safety and preparation with you.
