Just In Case – Auto Safety Kit

 

Mike,

 

Last Friday I had to run an errand. I got about a half of a mile from my house when a fellow beeped his horn at me and, pulling alongside, he yelled that I had a flat tire. I pulled over and checked and, sure enough, my right rear tire was flat!

 

Fortunately, the bead had not yet broken AND I had a portable air compressor in the trunk. Ten minutes later, I was back on the road heading for the local tire store. Within an hour I was good to go and completed my errand.

 

Here's the point: If I had not had that compressor, I would have had to

A. Change the tire, mounting the spare - a BIG hassle

B. Call a tow truck - BIGGER hassle, expensive and time consuming

 

If I were wearing a suit, had been a woman wearing a nice out fit, or been an elderly person, things would have been even worse. It's very dangerous trying to change a tire on a freeway and even on some busy residential streets.

 

BTW: While I was waiting for the tire store to do its thing, a clerk in an office supply store told me she had the same thing happen to her and didn't pull over until she heard the rim scraping the pavement - at 60 MPH! Talk about dangerous! The suspensions on late model cars work too well sometimes.

Mike Holt’s Response: After reading Pat’s email I decided to purchase a Just in Case - Auto Safety Kit for each of my employees and family members (I have seven adult kids that drive). In the few weeks that we have had the safety kit I myself and Sean (our shipping administrator) have run into situations where we’ve had to use our kit (Me – jumper cables and Sean - portable air compressors).

 

Response from Sean (shipping administrator): Mike,image1 thank you for the road side emergency package you gave me. One week before you set me up with the kit I had a blow out. I changed my tire and drove about 25 yards where I hit another piece of debris and blew out my spare.

 

Last weekend I purchased 4 new tires for the truck. When I left work this evening I realized I had a flat rear tire, I had run over a nail and over the course of the day it had gone completely flat. Now, I would have been in deep trouble if it wasn’t for the new air compressor you gave me.

  • Mike,

    I always laughed when I saw those compressors. Even after someone helped my wife get a truck tire re-inflated out in the country (I am a slow learner!) One night about 9:00 I left the gym for home , some 25 miles away. I ran over a bolt that poked a hole in tire and left a big shoulder on tsurface. THUMP! THUMP! I though about the distance home, and went to a 24hr. BIG BOX DISCOUNT (OK Wal-Mart) and got a little 12Volt compressor and plug kit. A few minutes in parking lot, instead of emptying trunk, changing tire, home and back and then to the tire store at an inconvienient time, then repack the tire and repack the trunk. .

    This is why I say you have full freedom to include ANYTHING you find of interest in news letters. thanks, Lynn
