It's summer, so don't let a vehicle breakdown ruin your fun in the sun.

Prepare yourself with a roadside emergency kit so you can stay safe while making fixes or waiting for help to arrive. This kit could be the difference between a minor inconvenience and a major problem.

Roadside emergency kits come premade or you can collect items and assemble one yourself (we find this to be the cheaper option).

Not sure what you should have in your kit? Here are a few suggestions:

  • Road flare substitutes (reflective warning triangles work well and possess no fire risk)
  • First-aid kit
  • Waterproof flashlight (don't forget extra batteries!)
  • Foam tire sealant
  • Jumper cables
  • Poncho
  • Work gloves

Don't forget to keep your cell phone charged and on you any time you get in the car.

Our service center in Louisburg, KS is available for vehicle safety checkups, so be sure to reach out and schedule an appointment before you go on a road trip!
