Just like checking your furnace ahead of colder weather, it’s important to prepare for any issues you might encounter on the road as the seasons change. Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA always wants you to be safe, so here are some handy tips to make sure you have exactly what you need for any roadside emergencies, just in case.
Start with the right tools to replace or repair a flat tire. While every Peruzzi Toyota comes equipped with the basics (as well as a Roadside Assistance option), take a moment to learn how to use them. For good measure, ensure you have a good car jack and lug wrench on hand, just in case you don’t want to wait.
Having a first-aid kit on hand is always smart. Make sure it includes gauze, band-aids, antibiotic ointments, small scissors, and the like. If you or your family members require special items like medications or an EpiPen, include those, too.
Your emergency kit should include a flashlight (fully charged) along with key fluids like an extra bottle of oil and antifreeze. Duct tape, pliers, a tire gauge, and a pocketknife are other smart, useful additions.
Because we’re heading into cooler weather, it’s not a bad idea to include some weather-specific clothing items in case you get stranded. Consider extra sweaters, a blanket, an extra pair of socks, and other layers to keep you cozy.
Some bottles of water and non-perishable foods (like energy bars) will be welcome if you find yourself stranded. This is especially important if you’re planning a long drive or navigating tricky, wintry roads.
Having a “plan” – not to mention a well-stocked emergency kit – will make hitting the road this fall and winter that much more enjoyable. Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA is always ready to make any road trip the best one ever!
