Most new cars come with them. You will have to spend a lot to get your car towed if you cannot change the tire right away. Your car still needs to be washed during the winter, even though the weather makes it more difficult. Although you may think there is no point to it, your car is more likely to get damaged in the winter. Roads filled with sand and salt can really do some corrosive damage to your car. Just make sure you dry the car thoroughly before heading back out onto the roads to prevent icing.

Do not forget that fixing your car yourself comes with some dangers. Work with someone nearby if you do plan to work on your car.

Remove fluffy, fun key chains or have it so that your car key can be removed from the bunch. The ignition in your car can't withstand too much extra weight, even if that weight doesn't seem excessive to you. Heavy keys become sticky keys which leads to tumbler replacement.

It is a good idea to keep a small set of tools in the back of your car for minor repairs on the road. For instance, if anything dealing with tire changes came with the car, have this in your car. If the necessary lug wrench and jack are missing, replace them. Then have a screwdriver kit, socket wrench kit, ratchet set, torque wrench and adjustable wrench, too. Avoid purchasing cheap tools. Invest in quality tools that don't break in the middle of a critical repair.
