Who it's for
- Anyone who has a jump starter in the trunk but has never read the clamp order
- Drivers who face real winters or real heat and want the car checked before the season, not after
- Anyone with a dash cam who has never checked how far back the loop reaches or how to save a clip
- Parents setting up a new driver with a kit, procedures and a contact card in the glovebox
Who made this
Built by the RoadReadyCalc team, the people behind this site's free jump starter, tire inflation, recording time and SD card calculators and its three priced road-ready kits. Every figure comes from the same math as those calculators; procedures summarize NHTSA and AAA guidance and defer to your owner's manual. Researched, not professional advice.
30-day money-back guarantee
Use the whole kit. If it doesn't help, fill in the refund form within 30 days and you get every dollar back. No questions asked. Refund form.
Questions
How do I get it?
Pay on the secure Stripe checkout and you land straight on your download page: the full PDF, a ZIP of every sheet as its own printable page, and the companion spreadsheet. Bookmark that page to download again later.
Do I need to buy any gear to use it?
No. The procedures, the checklists, the logs and the contact card work with whatever is already in the car. The kit builder shows what is missing, and the gear sheets are there if you decide to buy.
Is this professional or legal advice?
No. It is researched guidance built from this site's own calculators and public NHTSA, AAA, FMCSA and Ready.gov guidance. Your owner's manual comes first, and recording and privacy laws vary by state.
Will it work for a truck, a diesel or an EV?
The kit builder, checklists and logs work for any vehicle. The jump starter tables cover gas and diesel engines. Hybrids and EVs have their own jump-starting rules, and the procedures point you to the owner's manual for them.
What if it is not what I expected?
Use the whole kit. If it does not help, fill in the refund form within 30 days and you get every dollar back. No questions asked.
Does this replace the free calculators on the site?
No, it works with them. A calculator answers one number and forgets it. The kit keeps your vehicle numbers, your procedures, your logs and your contacts together on paper in the glovebox.
