Tools and Forms You Should Always Keep in Your Alfa Romeo Car

You want your new or used Alfa Romeo car to be in tip-top shape at all times. That means keeping it tuned up regularly, of course. But it also means being prepared for any possible breakdown or emergency when driving. To that end, here are some essential tools and forms to make sure you keep in your car to keep track of anything that comes up.

Safety

A properly-inflated spare tire is a necessary element in a car kit, and you should replace it every five to six years to ensure it’s safe. Other essentials, like a wheel wrench, tripod jack, reflective triangles, and brightly colored cloth, can help make your car more visible if it breaks down by the side of the road.

If you’ve ever experienced the frustration of a car that won’t start, or if you’ve ever been the good Samaritan who helped someone else out of a jam, you also know the importance of jumper cables. Ensure they are at least twenty feet long and between four and six gauge.

Remember that these items and many others are available from our Alfa Romeo parts department. Stop by so you’re always prepared.

Forms

In addition to tools and accessories for safety, some essential documents should always be in your glovebox, center console, or somewhere on your person.

• Vehicle registration that proves legal ownership of the car
• Proof of insurance, where required by law
• Your driver’s license, which should never leave your wallet

Depending on personal preference or where you’re traveling, you may pack other emergency essentials. A small toolkit or multitool, first aid supplies, food and water for longer trips, or even blankets if you’re headed somewhere cold can all come in handy.
