There are many things that can happen while driving during the summer in Arizona. This is a time that auto repair is most important.

Here are a few handy things that can make your trip more enjoyable and safer during an Arizona summer in addition to having your car checked

1) Flashlight

Having an emergency flashlight is critical in the event of a nighttime breakdown. Make sure the one you have does not run on batteries. There are many that operate on hand cranking or solar power.  A dead flashlight is just as bad as no flashlight at all.

2) Bottled Water

During the summer it can become very hot and dehydration is common. To prevent this, keep bottled water in your car. Make sure that you buy sizes that are convenient for drinking and have enough for everyone who is usually in your car.
