Is your new Toyota near Charlotte ready for an emergency?

How can you prep your new Toyota near Charlotte for any situation? 

  • Jumper cables: This way, if your battery dies you can get your new Toyota a jump so you can get it safely to the nearest Toyota Service Center.
  • Tow Rope: If you find yourself mired down in tricky terrain, this can definitely be a big help in getting you out!
  • A cell phone and charger: You want to keep a cell phone in your vehicle for obvious reasons, but don't forget a charger or charging cord. It won't be much use to you if the battery is dead! 
  • Spare tire and other tire tools: If you find yourself with a flat, you don't have to wait for a tow! Keep a spare tire, a jack, a lug wrench, and sealant. If the puncture isn't too big you can always temporarily seal it up until you can make it to a Toyota Service Center!
  • First aid kit: Keep a first aid kit handy in your Toyota to deal with minor bumps and bruises that might occur when you're out on the road. 
  • Pen, paper, and camera: You might want to consider keeping a disposable camera (or cell phone with camera) handy to take pictures in the event of a collision. Also keep a pen and paper on hand to write down details and swap info! 
  • Shovel, ice scraper, and kitty litter: This goes out to all you drivers who face snow – kitty litter can increase traction should you find yourself stuck, and a shovel and ice scraper will definitely come in handy in winter conditions!
