Hit the Road in Style With These Must-Haves Accessories

As a car dealer, we understand the excitement and anticipation that comes with planning a road trip. The stories customers tell are not only fascinating but give us insight as to what you will need on the road.

Being prepared can make all the difference between a smooth, enjoyable journey and a stressful one. That's why we've compiled a list of must-have car accessories to enhance your next adventure:

Essentials for Safety and Preparedness:

• Emergency Kit: This should include essentials like jumper cables, a flashlight, a first-aid kit, a fire extinguisher, and flares. Consider adding a roadside assistance plan for added peace of mind.

• Road Atlas or GPS: While GPS navigation is readily available on smartphones, having a physical backup ensures you're never without directions, especially in areas with limited cell service.

• Car Phone Charger: A reliable car charger is crucial for keeping your phone powered on for navigation, entertainment, and emergencies. Consider a car charger with multiple USB ports to keep multiple devices charged. You should also consider an external battery that can charge devices without having to rely on electricity or the car itself.

Enhancing Comfort and Convenience:

• Seat Gap Organizer: This handy accessory prevents items like phones, keys, and wallets from falling into the abyss between your seat and the center console.

• Car Phone Mount: A phone mount allows you to safely and conveniently use your phone for GPS navigation, hands-free calling, and music streaming while keeping your eyes on the road.

• Cooler: A small cooler is a great way to keep drinks and snacks cold on long journeys, especially if you're traveling with children or pets.

• Sunshades: Window sunshades help keep your car cool and protect passengers from harmful UV rays, especially important for long drives during the summer months.

Keeping Passengers Entertained:

• Headrest Tablets or Portable DVD Players: These keep passengers, especially children, entertained throughout the trip.

• Car Games and Activities: Pack some classic car games, travel journals, or activity books to keep everyone engaged and prevent boredom on long stretches of road.

Bonus Tip:

Consider investing in a cargo bag or roof rack if you're anticipating extra luggage or gear for your trip. This will help you maximize space and keep your car organized.

Remember: While these accessories can add comfort and convenience to your road trip, the most important element is ensuring your car is in top shape. Schedule a pre-trip inspection at your dealership to ensure your vehicle is up-to-date on maintenance and ready for the adventure ahead.

By having the right car accessories and ensuring your car is in good condition, you can set yourself up for a safe, enjoyable, and memorable road trip!

Carnac The Magnificient

Do you remember Johnny Carson's iconic character, Carnac the Magnificent? Picture him in his flamboyant turban, holding an envelope to his forehead, blurting out the answer to whatever is inside of it. This time he opens the envelope and instead of a question, out pops a Keyfob. As the audience laughs as he gives it to his sidekick who pushes the button. Nothing happens.

Carnac, with a wry smile, looks over and quips, "Sir, may your next journey be as smooth as a gravel road under a flat tire." He then snatches the keyfob back and, with a knowing nod, places it next to his head. This time, a car horn sounds off in the distance.

You Have Special Powers Too!

While this scenario sounds funny, it's actually based on real science! Placing a key fob against your head can indeed extend its range due to the use of the human skull as a conductor. This method leverages the scientific principle that the human body, being composed largely of water, can amplify the fob's signal.

Will Carnac's prediction come true? Is that keyfob going to belong to your next car? Stop by today and take away the guess work. We have a selection of cars to fit your and and your budget. 

And remember May your Keyfob never get lost or the jokes ever be over your head.
