Spare Tire
Having a spare tire in the trunk is a lifesaver if you hit a flat, but they can take up a lot of space. New cars often come with a space-saver tire, or donut, which is only meant to get you safely home and in for a replacement, but they may only come with a portable tire sealant kit. No matter what the equipment is, make sure you have something on hand, just in case.
Jumper Cables
It’s always good to have a set of jumper cables in your trunk, but they’re especially important during the summer and winter. Extreme temperatures drain the capacity on your battery especially quickly, so always be prepared. If you find your battery dying repeatedly, bring your car in and have its capacity tested.
Flashlight and Reflectors
If you need to work on your car at the side of the road at night, you’ll be glad you put a reflector vest in the back. Don’t rely on your phone’s flashlight, either, which could be dead and often unsteady. A heavy-duty flashlight will provide stable illumination for repair.
