Winter Car Emergency Kits.

Accidents, pass closures, and other winter events can mean unexpected time in your car. Be prepared. Pick up these items on your next shopping run and then pack them in your vehicle.

When running your car, you should run it for 15 minutes an hour to warm up your vehicle and to help save fuel. Also, in winter, you should always keep at least half a tank of gas in your car at all times.

Be safe this winter season!
