At 1st Choice Motors, we want you to be prepared for whatever the road throws at you. We feel it is particularly important to have a well-stocked roadside emergency kit during the winter. Here are a few things we think are crucial for those who live around Madison Heights, VA.
Depending on what the emergency is, you may be able to get yourself back on the road. In the winter, it is important to have a small shovel in case you need to dig yourself out of the snow. Also, always keep an ice scraper and snow brush. Jumper cables are also wise because the cold weather can wreak havoc on your battery.
In other situations, you will have to wait for assistance. In these cases, you need to keep yourself warm and safe. A few bottles of water, some snacks, and a warm coat or blanket should be kept in your car at all times. You should also have high-quality gloves in case you need to work on your car in the cold.
