10 Accessories Your Used Car Needs
Once you start looking for automotive accessories, you realize that the options are endless. But there are some essential things your car needs. Here’s a list.
Jump Starter: This is a must-have. When your car battery decides to cause problems, especially during winter, you’ll be glad that you bought a jump starter. It’ll save you a lot of hassle during a very annoying issue.
Blind Spot Mirrors: A lot of cars have blind-spot monitors with audible warnings. In case yours doesn’t, get blind spot mirrors. They’re small and super useful. Installation is easy, and you’ll have that essential extra visibility.
Phone Mount: If you use your phone for navigation, get a phone mount. They’re easy to install, are universally adaptable to all phones, and swivel in all directions. They’ll also ensure that your attention stays focused on the road instead of the screen.
Portable Power Bank: This is an amazing little accessory. It can be used to jump-start your car, charge your phone, and power tools. Get one that has integrated LED flashlights and is rechargeable. Charge it and carry it with you at all times.
Stinger: This is a device that helps you quickly break your car’s windows to let you exit the vehicle quickly if the doors and windows get jammed in an accident. A stinger also has a small blade that allows you to cut away a jammed seatbelt.
Hydraulic Jack: There are new versions of hydraulic jacks that are light, compact, and easy to store in your car. They make the task of dealing with a flat tire and changing it much easier.
Car Tool Set: Just like that jack, a car toolset is very helpful in the event of a puncture. It contains all the other tools needed to change a tire easily. It also contains an assortment of tools that assist in all types of small repairs.
Bluetooth Speaker: In case your car doesn’t have Bluetooth connectivity, you can easily connect your phone or tablet to this and play music from it or from a MicroSD card. You could also use it for hands-free calling.
Dashboard Camera: It’s always recording the view ahead and can capture evidence of any mishaps or road trip memories.
