Winter is here, and it’s brought inclement weather, road hazards, and potentially dangerous conditions to the Lehi streets. Living in a state like Utah that gets intense winters means it’s essential to have a winter car safety kit on hand in case of an emergency. Luckily, the team at Ken Garff Chevrolet has compiled a guide of our most important winter safety tips, including items to keep in your car and things to keep in mind if you’re taking a road trip over the holidays.
With the hazards that winter brings – slick roads, unpredictable weather, potential storms – the most important thing that Pleasant Grove-area drivers can do is stock up on essential supplies for their vehicle. These items are important in case of emergency, such as your car breaking down or getting stranded in hazardous weather conditions. Here are the most significant supplies that the Ken Garff Chevrolet service team recommends you have in your car’s emergency tool kit:

The holidays are often a time for travel, and if you’re planning on taking a long road trip this winter, there are some extra items you should make sure you have in your vehicle before departing:

Stay inside or at least very close by your vehicle until emergency responders arrive – they know to look for your vehicle, but won’t be able to find you if you go off on your own. Your emergency tool kit will keep you safe until help arrives.
