While it’s impossible to prepare for every situation, being proactive can save you a lot of grief. This is why it pays to have things on hand in your Nissan car in case you find yourself in a sticky situation. Having these spare Nissan parts available lets you be proactive: 

Tire

If you only heed one lesson from this list, it should be this one: A spare tire is a must-have. Even if you just got a new set of tires, you just never know when you’ll run over something like a nail. Even just a temporary donut tire will help you out of a real jam. While you’re at it, make sure you also have a jack and lug wrench so you’ll be able to change the tire.

Fuses and Bulbs

Fuses and bulbs may seem like they last forever, but over time they will burn out. While this may mostly just be a nuisance, not having a new bulb for a head- or taillight could be a big safety hazard.

Fluids

While not a part like the ones above, fluids are still an important part of your car. Many systems require fluids in order to run properly. This is why it’s worth having extras in your car, including coolant and oil.

Other Essentials

There are also some other things you’d be smart to have in your car, including jumper cables and reflectors or road flares. Having a first aid kit is a good idea as well.

Another way to be prepared with your car is to make sure it’s up to date with its maintenance. If you need an oil change, battery test, or anything else, just make an appointment with the service center at Bedford Nissan.
