Be Capable of Basic Service Tasks –

If you’re bringing along a spare tire, you might want to know how to change it. You should also know how to check your fluid levels such as your oil and your radiator fluid. You can typically check your owner’s manual to see exactly what you have to do to check these fluids.

Join a Roadside Help Service –

The American Automobile Association (AAA) is the most popular roadside service, but there are numerous other local and regional services you could check out. If you’re planning a road trip, make sure your service offers long-distance towing, maps, trip planning, and possibly even discounts on lodging.

Have Emergency Supplies –

Make sure you pack plenty of emergency supplies in case something happens. Your supplies should also be easily accessible at all times. From nonperishable foods to water to blankets, you should always make sure your vehicle is outfitted with the emergency supplies you need in case something catastrophic occurs.
