Almost everybody has experienced the misfortune of a vehicle breaking down. It tends to happen when you least expect it, and it is not at all fun to deal with. The normal response to these situations, mainly if you are on the road, is to call a towing service to take your vehicle to a repair shop. Other times to consider contacting an automotive towing company:
Keys Locked. A fairly common incidence, where the 1st instinct is to call a spouse or family member to bring a spare. However, a spare key is not always accessible, and a good towing company can generally respond in minutes with the tools required to fast unlock a vehicle.
Jump-Start. In these situations, a person does not need to go through the uncomfortable and potentially unsafe process of trying to solicit a jump-start from a stranger, nor do they need to walk miles to get fuel from the near gas station. Towing companies can usually fix these issues within minutes.
Tire Changing. Often times, switching out a flat tire for an extra tire is not as easy as one would think, and can be dangerous if on the side of a busy road. Calling a towing company is often the quickest and safest way to have an extra tire installed.
Semi Truck Towing. Semi Truck It's not always passenger vehicles that need help on the roadways. Some Towing Companies are ready to handle semi truck and trailer towing and recovery. There may even be more serious issues where a crane is essential to extract a large semi truck.
Load Shifting. A well ready towing service should also have the ability to realign and restack an uneven load being carried by a semi truck.
Underwater Recovery. Not all breakdown and accidents happen on the road. A well prepared towing service will be able to reach your vehicle wherever it may have ended up.
Vehicle Auctions. Infrequently, these companies will come across vehicles that have been abandoned and need to be removed. If a person is in the market for a new vehicle, these towing auctions may be a huge place to buy at very low cost.
