Every modern car you see on the roads right now is designed and built to last. These vehicles undergo extensive testing in the form of trials and errors before they get to roll out on the streets. This means that getting a brand-new car reduces the risk of malfunctions. But of course, it still pays off to be prepared for such situations by having spare car parts handy.
No matter how shiny your new ride might be, it still has several parts that are prone to wear and tear, even more so if you’re driving in difficult terrains and conditions. Without further ado, here are the most important spare parts you should always have in your car all the time.
Spare Tyre
If you’ve been a car owner for some time now, chances are you already know that a spare tyre is standard in every car. However, some manufacturers put it inside the boot only to occupy most of the space there. As a result, car owners take out the spare tyre every time they got more luggage to store there.
Punctures can also be very common and sadly, this is something that is pretty much out of your control. This means that there is a high possibility that you have already used up your spare tyre. So aside from getting another spare, you might as well make sure that you get the other spare repaired if it’s damaged as it is.
Keeping a spare tyre in your car can make a big difference between suffering a minor inconvenience and being stalled for several hours. Thus, it’s a common rule for drivers to never leave the house without making sure the trunk has a spare tyre available.
More importantly, see to it that you also know how to change a tyre. Yes, your trunk might have a spare tyre but it wouldn’t be that much help when you have no idea how to install it in the first place.
