My dad has always taken great pride in his car. From his former pick-up to his current luxury sedan, Dad has it detailed, has it serviced regularly, and don’t you dare mess with his stereo. If your dad is like mine, anything relating to his car will be appreciated this Father’s Day. But what do you get the Dad who already has every car accessory out there? How about a roadside emergency kit? It’s simple and Dad will love it.

Here’s how to prepare Dad’s 3-part roadside emergency kit:

Part 1: Basic Car Repair Kit

When Dad’s tire goes flat, or his battery dies, he’ll be prepared for basic repairs with the following items:

• Tire repair kit, pressure gage, jack and tire pump
• Flares or emergency triangle
• Tow rope
• Extra oil
• Antifreeze
• Windshield wiper fluid
• Jumper cables
• Tools (lug wrench, hammer, standard and Phillips screwdrivers, adjustable wrench

Part 2: Emergency Kit

Sometimes it isn’t just a flat tire. Dad could get stuck in the mud or there could be a natural disaster. So in addition to the basic car repair kit, give Dad an emergency kit so he can easily deal with stressful events:

• Fire extinguisher (5 lb., A-B-C type)
• Flashlight and extra batteries
• Battery-powered AM/FM radio and extra batteries
• Compass and road maps
• Shovel
• Sack of sand or cat litter (for tire traction)
• Bottled water
• Non-perishable high-energy foods, such as granola bars, raisins or peanut butter
• Extra clothing to keep dry
• Blankets or sleeping bags

Part 3: First Aid Kit

Dad may shake it off when he hit’s his thumb with a hammer, but he should still have a first aid kit. The Red Cross recommends the following items be kept in first aid kits:

• (20) Adhesive bandages, various sizes
• (1) 5″ x 9″ sterile dressing
• (1) Conforming roller gauze bandage
• (2) Triangular bandages
• (2) 3 x 3 sterile gauze pads
• (2) 4 x 4 sterile gauze pads
• (1) Roll 3″ cohesive bandage
• (2) Germicidal hand wipes or waterless alcohol-based hand sanitizer
• (6) Antiseptic wipes
• (2) Pair large medical grade non-latex gloves
• Adhesive tape, 2″ width
• Anti-bacterial ointment
• Cold pack
• Scissors (small, personal)
• Tweezers
• CPR breathing barrier, such as a face shield

Give dad his cool new roadside emergency kit this Father’s Day–believe me it’s better than another tie.

And if you don’t have time to make Dad an emergency roadside kit, find him a low-priced car insurance policy that includes roadside assistance!
