Honest-1 Auto Care on WESH- Orlando



Honest-1 Auto Care was featured on WESH- Orlando. Eric Sewell, Honest-1 franchisee, provides some tips on what you should keep in your car for a road trip. With record breaking numbers of travelers on the road for the 4th of July, Eric went through what you should have on hand in case of an emergency. The first is jumper cables because battery issues are common on the road. Eric recommends 15-20 ft. long cables. Another problem that road trippers often run into is a deflating or blown out tire. In order to quickly and safely deal with these issues you should keep tire sealant in your vehicle to help get you off the road and to a safe place, you own tire gauge because gas stations can often be inaccurate, and a lug wrench in case you need to change a tire. Along with these items Eric recommends keeping a flashlight and LED flares to keep you safe in the event of nighttime car trouble.
