Virginia Roadside Emergency Tips

Nobody ever plans on being stranded by the roadside—but the truth is, most roadside breakdowns can be prevented with a bit of planning and caution. We’ve helped thousands of drivers on Prince William Parkway and throughout Northern Virginia, and we’ve seen first-hand how some simple habits can keep you safe and on the move.

Following are some important tips to help you avoid common roadside issues:

1. Regularly check Tire Pressure & Fluid Levels

Low tire pressure is a leading contributor to blowouts and flats. Make a point to check tire pressure at least once a month, and before you head out on a long road trip. Don’t leave home without your spare tire, either! Check vital fluids like engine oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid, coolant, and windshield washer fluid as well. A simple scan under the hood can save you a whole world of trouble later on.

2. Don’t Ignore Dashboard Warning Lights

That check engine light isn’t whining. Automobiles these days have computers onboard that can identify issues before they happen. Don’t take it lightly and disregard if there is a warning light illuminated; find the mechanic and let him figure out why it happened.

3. Carry an Emergency Kit in Your Trunk

A basic roadside emergency kit will have jumper cables, spare, jack, flashlight and spare batteries, reflective warning triangles, bottled water, and blanket. These will be a huge assistance in a jam and will even save you from having to be towed in some situations.

4. Don’t Let Your Gas Tank Run Low

Especially during cold weather, ensure that you maintain at least a quarter tank of fuel in your vehicle. Running out of gas on the way to work or during rush hour, or when it is freezing outside, can be dangerous. Don’t risk it—refuel when you’re not too low.

5. Save Our Number in Your Phone

Despite planning, accidents do occur. Have our number handy at all times: 571-520-0898. That way, if an accident should happen, help is just a phone call away.
