Towing Services FAQ
Q: Should I use a flatbed or wheel-lift tow truck?
For most modern vehicles, we recommend flatbed towing as it's the safest method. Flatbeds eliminate the risk of drivetrain damage that can occur with traditional tow dollies. All-wheel drive and low-clearance vehicles should always be flatbedded.
Q: Can you tow my car from a parking garage?
Yes, we have compact tow trucks designed for tight spaces and parking structures. Describe your situation when you call and we'll send the appropriate equipment.
Q: What happens if my car breaks down on the highway?
If safe, move to the shoulder and turn on hazard lights. Call us with your exact location (mile marker, nearest exit). We'll dispatch the nearest available unit. For highway calls, we often arrive faster than police-initiated tows.
Roadside Assistance FAQ
Q: What roadside assistance services do you offer?
We offer jumpstarts, lockouts, tire changes, fuel delivery, and winching. Call dispatch; we explain the work before we start.
Q: Can you help if I'm locked out of my car?
Yes, our technicians use professional lockout tools to gain entry without damaging your vehicle. We can typically have you back in your car within 15-20 minutes of arrival.
Q: Do you bring fuel if I run out of gas?
Yes, we provide fuel delivery service. We'll bring enough fuel to get you to the nearest gas station. Note: We don't have diesel fuel - please specify your fuel type when calling.
