Here are 5 Things every car Owner Needs

Every time you get behind the wheel of a car, you need to make sure you are properly prepared. Even though you do not leave your house thinking that an accident is going to happen, an emergency can happen at just about any time. It is always better to be safe than sorry, and at Sport Cadillac, we are always here to help you. Take a closer look at some of the top gadgets and gizmos you need to have in your car to make sure your vehicle is ready for any challenges you might face.

1. A Tire Changing Kit

One of the most common reasons why drivers get stuck on the side of the road is a flat tire. Even though you can certainly call someone to come and change a tire for you, you can save a significant amount of time and money if you can do it on your own. Therefore, you always need to make sure you have a spare tire in your trunk. You also need to have a jack that can help you lift up your vehicle. Finally, you should also have a lug wrench that can help you get the lug nuts off of your car. That way, you can change a flat tire if you end up on the side of the road.

2. A Set of Jumper Cables

It can be incredibly frustrating if you turn the key and your car does not start. One of the most common reasons why this happens is that your battery has died. In general, you should get between three and five years of use out of your battery, but just because you need to jump your car doesn't mean the battery is dead. At the same time, you need to have a set of jumper cables that can help you do exactly that. That way, you can get your car to the shop and see if there is a problem with your battery.

3. A Glass Breaker and Seatbelt Cutter

If you are involved in a motor vehicle accident, you need to have tools available that can help you get out of the vehicle. That means you need to have a seat belt cutter and a glass breaker. If you need to go out through the window, you need to have a tool that can help you cut yourself free. You also never know if your seatbelt is going to trap you. Always have a tool available that can help you free yourself.

4. A First Aid Kit

It is also not unusual for a motor vehicle accident to result in injuries. That is why you need to have a first aid kit available. A first aid kit should have a few important tools in it. It should come with Band-Aids, alcohol cleaning wipes, and some anti-inflammatory medications. Of course, in the event of a motor vehicle accident, you always need to call 911 and ask for help.

5. A Tire Pump and Gauge

Finally, every car owner needs to have a tire pump and gauge. If you find that your tire pressure is a bit low, you need to have a tire pressure gauge. It can help you figure out which tire is low, what the pressure is, and what you need to do to fix it. Then, you need to have access to a tire pump that can help you get your tire pressure back to the right level.
