Basic accessories of a car are those accessories of a car which are more or less like must-haves. They can make your life or rather driving life better and more comfortable.
Top 10 basic accessories of a car
-
Car cover
Hold your horses before you speak out that custom car covers can cost over 5k inr. You are absolutely correct. But according to my surveys, I find most people use a universal fit car cover which starts for as low as rs 549. Yeah!
There’s no doubt that car covers can cost more than many other accessories in our list but we are considering it in the cheaper section as it has a lower starting price. Cheaper covers are thin and you should not use it in extreme weather conditions as it won’t be able to give much protection.
-
Cleaning cloth
Well, I don’t think we will have controversy here as cleaning clothes are really cheap and I think you should definitely have them. Don’t use old pieces of cloth as they will eventually scratch your car and your car will lose its shine.
Always use a microfiber cloth to clean and wipe your car during washing as these soft cloth pieces can never scratch your car. A pack of 4 microfiber cloth will cost just around rs 280 on Amazon. You should have min. 4-5 of them for various purposes.
I know you didn’t think a cleaning cloth is gonna pop up in the list. Well, many people ignore it and the result is a car without lustre just within a few years of purchase. Be aware!
-
Air fresheners
There are a lot of types of air fresheners and they are mostly cheap. The gel-type air fresheners can cost about rs 200 and will last for 15-20 days.
Air fresheners in spray form are the cheapest and you can buy them if you are looking for occasional use only as their fragrance doesn’t last long.
Necessity yet accessible accessories of a car
-
Puncture repair kit
All car owners should keep a puncture repair kit with them if they travel outside city limits. In cities, you will find many repair shops and it won’t be a problem. But if you are traveling outside the city then you may not always get a repair shop near you. The only choice is to repair the tyre by yourself.
I think learning to repair a tyre is a good idea as it will save you some money. Repair shops have started charging exorbitant prices even for bike tyre punctures and a puncture repair kit comes cheap.
-
Jumper cable
Jumper cables are wires with clutching plugs which are used to start a car with a dead battery. A car with a running battery is needed and the car with the dead battery is jump-started with the help of it.
You should keep it as there’s no way to start a car if your battery goes dead other than jump-starting it. It may help you someday or you can help someone else with it.
Medium priced accessories
-
Tyre inflators and pressure gauge
After repairing the tyre, you will surely need a tyre inflator and you can get one for around 1.8k. Heavy-duty air inflators cost less than the normal ones but the only drawback is that they don’t have an auto-cut off feature.
But there is a tyre pressure gauge built in so that won’t be a big issue. I think you should buy a heavy-duty tyre inflator as it is cheaper and fills air faster than others. So, save both your time and money with heavy-duty tyre inflators. The Bergmann Typhoon is a popular choice in this category.
With a tyre inflator, you should also keep a tyre pressure gauge for added accuracy. Pressure gauges won’t cost much.
-
Seat covers and floor mats
Seat covers and floor mats together can enhance the look and feel of your car’s cabin. Leather seat covers are the most expensive ones and the fabric is the cheapest one. Floor mats are of various kinds too.
-
Toolkit
Even if you just repair your tyres, you will need various tools. Hence, we advise you to keep a comprehensive toolkit with necessary tools which will come in handy. You may see loose screws in your new car. You can tighten them with your toolkit within no time.
High priced Accessories
-
The infotainment system and GPS navigation
A lot of old cars won’t have a touchscreen infotainment system. Nowadays, you can get one installed separately and it can serve various functions like playing music or showing you maps with GPS navigation. With Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, you can use your phone on this infotainment system.
-
Parking camera
Well, old cars won’t have this feature too. Many budget cars will also skip this feature. But this is a useful feature and assists you in packing and moving your car backwards as you can see the rear path on the infotainment system with parking cameras.
These are the most essential and basic accessories of a car that you should install in your car for a pleasant driving experience. You can purchase the best car accessories from us with huge discounts and guaranteed authenticity.
