At Dallas Collision Center, we want you to be ready for anything that might happen while traveling. One way to prepare for being stranded on the side of the road is to have an emergency kit in your car.
An emergency kit should have warm clothes, a bottle of water and nonperishable food such as granola bars that can provide a high level of calories without taking up a lot of space. You'll also want to include a flashlight, emergency radio and a phone as well as batteries or a charger to keep them powered up.
Finally, you'll want to include items that might help you repair a flat tire or other minor issues that you might be able to solve on your own. These items could include a jack, spare tire or a portable jumper cable kit to restart a dead battery.
