Sometimes your car may break down on the side of the road at the most inconvenient opportunity. Luckily, a local tow service can assist. If you've never had to rely on such a service before, you may have some questions. Here are some of the many FAQs about local towing companies we've encountered over the years.

1. How Can I Find a Reliable Tow Company?

Don't be afraid to ask for recommendations from other vehicle owners in your life. From friends to families to neighbors, they likely have had to deal with a broken car at some point. You can also do a local search online to see which companies may have the closest service to you. Your auto insurance may also come with built-in access to emergency towing.

2. What Will This Cost Me?

Don’t expect the same price from auto companies. Compare prices by getting quotes from different ones and see if the prices change for a weekend or after-hours work. Also, ask if they charge different rates based on the type of vehicle you have. For example, if you need RV or truck trailer towing, there may be an additional fee.

3. What Are the Most Common Reasons People Need Tow Services?

According to reports from Carsurance, almost 55% of roadside breakdown cases result from issues with tires. Your tires may develop a flat because they ran over a pothole. Sometimes, tires already with low pressure may deflate at the wrong time. You should also be aware of tread issues, as low tread can make the car skid, especially in poor weather.

4. What Hours Are Tow Trucks Available?

A vehicle accident or breakdown can happen at any time. That's why most local tow services are available 24/7. When you need emergency services, they're available to assist you. They understand that emergencies don't always happen during regular business hours, so you can rely on them for help day or night.
