Not All Cars Now Sport Spare Tires In The Trunk

By Brooks L. Rugemer


It is often more than amazing. Motorists will spend a fortune purchasing and dolling up their new vehicle but will often scrimp on basic maintenance and care in order to keep their vehicle and its seasonal parts up to snuff.

Yet to more than one vehicle owner it seems like Sherwood Forest out there with Robin Hood et all around the corner to grab your cash. However in the case of most amateur mechanics and vehicle owners they need to have only the tools to fix a handful of cars - two or three family vehicles in most cases. Since in most cases speed of repair time is not the primary concern - most can do with a somewhat minimal however not as limited as they would think - auto tool kit. At the worst ,with the several vehicles most families own now , you have a good buffer of time to go out auto shopping for . You should not be at the mercy or mercies of a high pressure "professional" auto salesperson or dealership.

In terms of flat tires, you will need a spare in good working order, a jack and lug wrench - all of which you must easily find in the dark. Hence it never hurts to have a fully charged and working flash light in your glove box. As well it may be reassuring too, if you taken the preparation time to have practiced changing a tire in the safety and ease of your own driveway. The military frequently runs tests and exercises for its staff and you aught too as well.

Carry an old towel as well, in these situations and regards, since installing tire chains can be a most wet and dirty job. A word of seasoned advice, from a professional driver well knowledgeable about roads and automotive repairs is that if you have never accomplished this task, under duress, then you may well want to practice ahead of time on a dry day in the comfort of your driveway, or perhaps in a parking lot on a quiet Sunday afternoon. You might even want to keep your tire chains easily stored away in an old duffel or gym back. Old hockey bags are great for this purpose. This way they are easily spotted in a pinch and well will not be a nuisance either in your trunk, or truck storage areas.

No doubt about it. Your basic auto tool kit and first aid setup can both be a convenience and a lifesaver to the average motorist - yourself and your family included.
