15 Items You Need In Your Car
15 Items You Need In Your Car
Don’t Leave Home Without Them
Car Safety Items You Need
Here are the top 15 items we recommend keeping in your vehicle at all times:
1. A Charged Cellphone
You’ll probably already have a cellphone with you, but it’s essential to make sure it’s always fully charged. Bring a car charger along for the ride too, so you can charge your phone when the power’s low.
2. Reflective Warning Triangles
Reflective warning triangles will notify oncoming cars to slow down. LED flares are another good option to prevent roadside mishaps when you’re stuck.
Reflective Triangles
3. First-Aid Kit
Always keep a first-aid kit with bandages, gauze pads, adhesive tape, aspirin, antiseptic wipes, and antibiotic ointment in your car.
4. Fire Extinguisher
A fire extinguisher can smother a spark caused by an electrical problem.
5. Jumper Cables
Did you accidentally leave your lights on? Did the battery die? Leave jumper cables in your car so a nearby vehicle can help get your ride running again.
Jumper Cables
6. Flashlight
What if the car breaks down in the middle of nowhere at night? Keep a flashlight in your glove compartment, along with extra batteries.
7. A Multipurpose Knife
A standard multipurpose knife will come with a bottle opener, a flathead screw driver, a wire cutter, rescue blade, and glass breaker. It’s a useful tool in any situation.
8. A Poncho
Your car breaks down, you’re checking under the hood, and suddenly it starts pouring. Reach in your emergency kit for your rain poncho and stay dry.
9. Nonperishable Snacks
While you’re waiting for help to arrive, stave off hunger with high-protein nonperishable snacks like mixed nuts and protein bars.
10. Water
Along with snacks, keeping bottled water in your car is vital.
11. Cat Litter
Use cat litter as a replacement for sand to create traction beneath the tires if you get stuck.
12. An Emergency Radio
Leave a battery-powered or hand crank radio in the car to listen for weather warnings and other important news if your vehicle’s radio or cell phone stops working.
13. Walking Shoes
If your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, you have no cellphone reception, and you haven’t seen a passing car in hours, you’ll have to start walking to find help. Comfortable walking shoes will make the trek more bearable.
Stuck on the Side of the Road 😱
14. A Tool Kit
A tool kit with a Phillips head screwdriver, a flathead screwdriver, vise grips, an adjustable wrench, and a pair of pliers will come in handy if you break down and can fix things on your own.
15. A Fleece Blanket
A fleece blanket will keep you warm if your car breaks down in cold weather or during a winter storm.
Now that you know what you’ll need to pack for your homemade roadside safety kit, take one more precaution. Bring your car down to the New Jersey State Auto Auction.

🚗 Driving On Black Ice – Safety Tips
Driving On Black Ice
🚗 Driving On Black Ice
—— 4 Safety Tips
1. Go Slow
Just like driving in snow, you’ll want to go slowly and steadily over patches of black ice. Unlike snow, which still offers a little traction for your tires, black ice is completely smooth, and your tires won’t stick at all. As a result, it can be difficult to stop if you’re going too fast. When you reach a patch of black ice, take your foot off the accelerator immediately.
Additionally, keeping a straight wheel is advisable since you should be able to coast safely over the ice. If you turn your wheel while driving on black ice, you’ll increase the likelihood of losing control of your vehicle. If you start to skid and have to turn, be sure to turn into the skid.
2. Don’t Pump the Brakes
Brakes can be your best friend in many driving emergencies, but not black ice skids. When you approach black ice, let off the brake before your tires make contact. If you’re going too fast and need to brake a little, pump the brakes to avoid going into a full-on skid. Don’t slam on the brakes under any circumstances—you’ll only make your situation worse by doing so.
3. Go With the Skid
One of the biggest mistakes drivers make when driving on black ice is overcorrecting a skid. This can compound the problem quickly by sending the car spinning in the other direction. Gently turn into the skid while pumping the brakes. As the skid breaks, return the steering wheel to normal. Once your tires get traction on the road again, you should find it easy to correct from there.
4. Watch Your Car’s Temperature Reading
Most cars these days come with an external thermometer. Pay attention to the reading during the winter months, and if it drops to freezing (32 degrees F), expect that you’ll run into black ice somewhere. To be extra safe, use caution even when the reading is only near freezing as many car thermometers pick up heat readings from the engine, which can make it seem warmer outside than it actually is.
Avoid Flood Cars at our Used Car Dealer in New Jersey
In New Jersey, we’re no strangers to the travails of hurricanes. At the five-year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy, we’re keeping our neighbors in Houston and Puerto Rico in mind as they grapple with the devastation of recent hurricanes. However, that doesn’t mean we don’t have to stay vigilant right here at home. At our used car dealer in New Jersey, shoppers looking for used cars have to keep an eye out for models that were damaged in recent flooding. Let us tell you what to look for!
Get a More-Than-Once Over
When you’re looking at a used car, truck, van, or SUV, there are some more immediate telltale signs that should send up red flags. A musty smell, rust spots, and a lot of water stains on the upholstery are a few of the cosmetic clues. Put the windows up and run the air conditioner. If the air coming out smells mildewy, ditch it.
Keep in mind that modern cars have a lot of electronic parts and computerized components. It’s more than just power windows at this point. It’s also rearview cameras, climate control, and maintenance monitors. New Jersey used car shoppers would do well to avoid flood cars because those features can be heavily damaged and even disabled by the floodwater. That’s why, when you go for a test drive, test all the electronic features.
The Paper Trail
As difficult as it is to believe, it’s legal to sell flood-damaged vehicles, though its status as a “flood vehicle” has to be clear, by putting those words in the title. However, because that makes a vehicle more difficult to sell, take a look at the vehicle history report for a sign: a series of title transfers in rapid succession in multiple states. That indicates an attempt to bury its status as it traveled from flooded states all the way here.

Jersey Picks: the Best Used Cars for Tailgating
When football season gloriously returns, it brings a lot of great activities with it. Fantasy football, season tickets, and, of course, tailgating! However, it’s possible to get so caught up in determining which snacks to make or who to invite that one factor may be overlooked: your vehicle’s capacity for tailgating. Our NJ used car dealer has a variety of trucks, vans and SUVs that will help you bring the party this season. Here are a few of our suggestions:
Ram 1500
This truck is, indisputably, an industry favorite. No-fuss capability is matched by superior longevity to make a great vehicle. These models are optionally equipped with the RamBox cargo management system, a drainable storage system built into the bed. It doesn’t require extra space, and provides a perfect vehicle for ice and beverages. It’s practically made for tailgaters. A larger bed for lugging coolers, a grill, a table, and chairs and a huge number of bed and cab configurations are all factors that make it possible to find exactly what you need.
Toyota 4Runner
A long body and a sizeable liftgate make this SUV a great tailgating vehicle, if only because it’s so good for a lot of other uses as well. Who can argue with three rows of seating that can transform into a huge amount of cargo space? Put the liftgate on your used Toyota 4Runner in NJ to work by using it for shade.
Honda Odyssey
A minivan may seem like an unlikely contender for a tailgating party, but the Honda Odyssey is a spacious choice with a number of safety and practicality accolades under its belt. This is a vehicle that doesn’t sacrifice comfort for convenience, so be prepared to drive a car full of sleeping fans home.
Ready to bring the party? Whether you’re bringing attendees, food, or both, we have a vehicle on our lot that can suit your tailgating needs- just visit New Jersey State Auto Auction to browse our selection. We can’t wait to help you!
