Carry Flares & A Wind-Up Radio

When it comes to winter driving in Denver, Colorado, there will always be some unavoidable problems. The best you can do is to prepare for these problems before they happen. One of the easiest ways you can prepare for the unknown is by keeping some helpful items in your car in case you get stuck out in the middle of nowhere away from help during a snowstorm this winter. In our previous post, the Toyota repair specialists at Urban Autocare started giving you 15 items you should always keep in your car in case of an emergency in a snowstorm. Here are more items you should always have in your car!

Flares

In case of an emergency, flares will help rescuers see you! If you’re being searched for, and rescuers cannot locate you, flares can end up being your saving grace. When there’s a whiteout snowstorm, flares will come in handy to shine through and make all the difference in your discovery.

Wind-Up Radio

Wind-up radios may seem a bit old fashioned, but if you’re stuck without power and no way of knowing what the weather ahead of you looks like, a radio may be able to help you make the right decision on your next move.

Where do you think you’re going? With winter well on its way, we have more items you should be storing in your car in case of an emergency out on the snowy roads of Denver. Stay tuned for more items our Toyota repair specialists believe you should always have in your car.
