While the winter months can be a real hazard, many Pasadena drivers may be unfamiliar with safety during the cold season. While driving in the deep of winter sounds scary if to some, it doesn’t have to put an end to road trip plans and holiday adventures.

Learn how to put together a winter emergency car kit for all your seasonal adventures from the experts at Gulfgate Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram. Thanks to our dedicated service center specialists, you’ll have a wealth of information to stay safe and ready for whatever the road brings.
When it comes to driving during winter, there’s no good excuse to avoid basic preparation, especially if you plan on heading north. A quick drop in temperature plus cold rain can make things extra slippery, whether or not the ground freezes. An emergency tool kit for car or truck will go a long way to easing any winter worries. Consult your owner’s manual if you’re heading into colder climates and schedule a service with your local team to get your vehicle prepped. Finally, gather the following items for your winter car safety kit:
