If you are traveling this winter you want to make sure that you are prepared for the worst. Hopefully you won't have to use your emergency kit but if you have it you will be prepared.

We want to remind you from all of us here at Elgin Toyota to stay safe this holiday season and to bring plenty of sand, litter, or salt in case you get stuck somewhere.

Sand is a great choice since it will not get gooey and it will also not rust your vehicle like salt will. It is also fairly cheap. Any type of sand will do. If get stuck all you have to do is sprinkle a generous amount of sand, litter, or salt around your tires to give yourself some traction. Make sure that you bring plenty. The added traction should help you to get out of a slippery situation in no time.
