In this blog entry, the Chicago Towing vehicle experts will detail the essential roadside assistance tools to always keep on hand in your vehicle.

Torque Wrenches

Torque wrenches help you to tighten and fasten nuts and bolts. There’s many different sizes of torque wrenches, but we recommend a customizable and/or interchangeable one. There’ a few types of torque wrenches – sound indicating torque wrenches, flex bar torque wrenches, and dial indicator torque wrenches. All of these can be easily found at a hardware store.

Tire Pressure Gauge Checkers

The pressure in your vehicle’s tires is of absolute importance for your driving safety, vehicle performance, and fuel spending. It’s essential to check your tire pressure levels using a gauge on a regular basis. You can find a high quality tire pressure gauge at most automotive stores – and tire pressure should generally be anywhere from 32-35 psi, depending on the weather of your area; confirm the proper psi for your vehicle in your owner’s manual

Automotive code readers attach to your vehicle and interpret, analyze, and potentially clear warning lights like Check Engine Lights or ABS lights. Electronic automotive code readers can be bought for a range of affordable prices, and with a range of useful and customizable features. You can be sure to find a high quality and lifesaving automotive code reader for under 100 dollars at an automotive parts store or hardware store.
