Checked the air pressure in your spare tire? How about all of your lights, fluids, and pressure in your other tires? And just for good measure do you have a hide-a-key on your vehicle?
I was doing a front to back inspection on my truck yesterday and my spare was 20 lbs. low and one of my license plate lights was out.
Great reminder .
I know I should do it more often . Thanks … Roy
It’s frustrating to be stranded or delayed for something small.
I carry a bomb to blow up the tires Saved me once and my wife once . Best $6;00 each I have ever invested .
Never checked the spare. I do have a Hide-a-key (with vehicle and house keys), and a cigarette lighter plug in air pump with a tire plug kit. I also have a fire extinguisher, first aid kit, jumper cables, and many flashlights.
I check and service my vehicles regularly. No need for a hide-a-key, because I’ve got OnStar. I can open my truck using an app on my Droid :D.
I wear loose-fitting shirts so I doesn’t show.:)
Awesome!
Spoiled.
What happens when you loose your keys and lock your phone in the Car? lolol
I have a AAA card

About 2 weeks ago I had a flat tire and the spare was stuck under my truck. Rusted cable. I was rescued by a CVS good
Samaritan program.
Now my tire is in the bed with a jack that I know how to operate.
I was lucky that day!!
As long as I have access to ANY phone, I can call OnStar to open my vehicle. In addition, I have sensors on all my tires (yes, including the spare) that tell me if pressure is low.
I have the same thing…my wife. She tells me all the time the tires “look low to her” so I check them at least once a week just to make her happy. Never have to put any air in them but I don’t want to spoil her sense of being on top of things.
I do a walk around every workday.
I check everything weekly.
I check the spare monthly.
I carry basic handtools, etc. everyday.
I carry a full first aid kit, replenished after every use.
I carry a dedicated flashlight just for vehicle use.
I have AAA Plus.
Did you know that if your vehicle is classified as “commercial”, you are required by the U.S. D.O.T. to keep a log book of your “DAILY” vehicle inspection??? :shock:
Didn’t think so.
Thanks for the reminder as I keep forgetting to patch my spare
