Winter Emergency Driving Kit

Emergencies occur when you least expect them, and they can happen to anyone. Melloy Dodge understands the need to be prepared for almost anything, and that includes having a winter emergency driving kit easily accessible within your Dodge, RAM, or Fiat. Since we have yet to receive any snow in the metro or the surrounding mountains, you may be planning a trip up north in search of snow. Melloy Dodge recommends that you and your family travel
with an emergency driving kit that contains the following: 
  • A  case of water
  • First aid kit
  • Flashlight and extra batteries
  • Blankets, mittens, hats, and socks
  • A tool kit and tire repair kit
  • Jumper cables
  • Tire chains and snow straps
  • Hand warmers 
  • Non-perishable snacks; granola bars, protein bars, nuts, and dried fruits, crackers, and packaged tuna or chicken pouches are just a few items, to begin with.


Most of these items can fit well in a duffle bag in the vehicle's rear. Before heading out for your snow adventure, check your bag and update things as they are used. We recommend that your emergency driving kit remains in your vehicle so that if you ever need anything from it, it won't be at home when you are in need. If you are looking for a car that does well off-road and can get you to the places located off the beaten path, come down to Melloy Dodge, and one of our sales associates can help you purchase your new vehicle just in time for the next snow!
