When To Call A Tow Truck

Knowing when to call a tow truck can be straightforward, but it's not always obvious. While tow trucks are often necessary if you get into an accident or your car breaks down and can't be revived, they also provide non-towing assistance. Here are some scenarios where calling a tow truck is a smart move:

1. You Ran Out of Gas Misjudging the amount of gas left in your tank happens to the best of us. If you can't reach a friend or family member to bring you fuel, call your local towing company. They'll quickly get gas into your tank.

2. Vehicle in a Ditch Never attempt to extract a stuck vehicle without proper towing equipment. You risk injury or causing costly damage. Contact a reliable towing company to safely handle the situation.

3. Flat Tire If you get a flat tire on a busy highway, don't risk your safety trying to change it. Call a towing company to move your car to a safer location, fix or inflate the tire, or install the spare for you. If you're having trouble with the spare tire yourself, they can help with that too.

4. Dead Car Battery If your engine doesn't respond when you turn the key, your battery might be dead. Without jumper cables or another car to help, call a towing professional. They can jumpstart your car or tow it if the problem persists.

5. Locked Out Getting locked out of your car is always frustrating, whether it's your fault, your child's, or your pet's. Fortunately, a local tow company has the tools to safely unlock your vehicle and retrieve your keys.

6. In an Accident Don't drive a damaged car after an accident. Even seemingly minor damage can be dangerous. If your car was hit and you’re injured, call 911. First responders will arrange for towing, and you can inform them of your preferred towing company.
