15 Items To Keep In Your Car This Winter

Everyone is aware that Denver, Colorado is one of the best states to live in if you love snow. The residents of Colorado are fortunate enough to experience all four seasons this earth has to give, which is why today the auto repair specialists at Urban Autocare are making it a point to give you a list of items to keep in your car this winter as a safety precaution.

15 Items To Keep In Your Car This Winter

Blanket

A blanket may be one of the most vital things to have in your car! During the winter time, you never know when your car will slip off into a snow drift in the middle of the night. If this happens, and you can’t call for help, you may be spending the night in your car. A blanket can end up saving your life. It doesn’t take long for your body to go into hypothermia, so play it safe and keep a nice sized blanket in your backseat or trunk (if you can get to your trunk from the inside of your car).

Spare Cell Phone That’s Charged

You may be thinking, I have a cell phone and I have a charger for it, why do I need a spare cell phone that has a full battery? A charged cell phone, no matter if it is activated or not, will allow you to call 9-1-1 in a pinch! This can be the difference between life and death in the middle of one of Colorado’s wicked snow storms. To keep the battery charged, wrap your phone up in the blanket we also told you to start carrying. It’s also a great idea to keep your spare cell in the cab of your car, just in case you can’t get to your trunk.
Don’t go anywhere just yet! The auto repair specialists at Urban Autocare have more great tips for you! Stay tuned for our next blog!
