​24-Hour Emergency Service Towing

Drivers may find they need their vehicle towed for various reasons. In addition, businesses might request a tow for a vehicle left unattended on their lot. In either situation, they need a reputable wrecker service to handle the task.
 
When a driver requests a tow, they need to prepare the vehicle. First, alert other drivers to the presence of the car or truck so an accident doesn’t occur. Next, remove personal items. Gather any necessary documents for the tow truck driver and determine where the vehicle will go.
 
By taking these steps prior to the tow truck arriving, a driver can reduce the ‌time they spend resolving the problem with the inoperable vehicle. They can then focus on getting a ride or rental vehicle while allowing the tow provider to do the rest. Prompt action allows them to get the vehicle back on the road again quickly.

​Flatbed Towing

At times, flatbed towing is called for. When the vehicle must go an extended distance, it’s best to use a flatbed truck. This minimizes the wear and tear on the vehicle while protecting it from damage. Road debris, potholes, and more can make an existing problem with a vehicle worse. By having it towed on a flatbed truck, the owner can minimize this damage.
 
In certain situations, the vehicle to be towed weighs too much for a tow dolly and a flatbed truck will become necessary. A tow dolly cannot carry vehicles with low clearance, as the vehicles could sustain damage. Furthermore, certain vehicle manufacturers prohibit towing options other than flatbed trucks. The owner must know this prohibition and share it with the towing company when they call for help. Otherwise, the transmission becomes at risk of being harmed. The driver then becomes responsible for the cost of repairing this damage.

​Jump Starts

Drivers may reach out to a stranger when they need their vehicle jump-started. Every person has been in a situation where their car suddenly won’t start and they need help. This person may not know what they are doing and damage the vehicle or hurt themselves. Individuals working for a tow company undergo training to ensure they know how to complete this task properly.
 
In addition, a tow company responds quickly when it gets a call. There is no need to wait for somebody to come help because the tow company will come out right away. Nobody wants to wait around a deserted area until a driver passes by, particularly when they cannot say for certain this person will stop to help them. It’s never fun to worry about who may come along, either. When you call a tow company, you know you are getting a reputable provider who will assist you and get you on the road again quickly.

​Tire Changes

Anyone who has attempted to change a tire recently knows how hard it is to remove a flat. Mechanics today use torque wrenches to ensure the tire is on the vehicle securely. Removing lug nuts tightened with a torque wrench serves as a challenge. When you call a tow company, they have the tools needed to remove the flat quickly and install the spare properly.
 
Many drivers never think to check the spare tire in their vehicle. It’s in there when they buy the car and they forget about it until they need it. However, what happens when the spare is flat or has another problem? When a tow company is there to change the tire, they can take the driver and the vehicle to a reputable tire dealer to have both tires fixed. That allows you to get back on the road again quickly, knowing the tires on the vehicle will take you where you need to go.

​Unwanted Vehicle Removal

Very few things annoy a property owner as much as a broken-down vehicle sitting in their driveway or yard. They want this eyesore removed from the property as soon as possible. If the vehicle is not driveable, they must have it removed. In this situation, they have two options to choose from.
 
Many companies today offer to buy old vehicles for cash. Before calling one of these companies, consider what could go wrong when they come to take the vehicle. As they typically dispose of these vehicles, they aren’t worried about any damage to them. This means they may not take care of the property when they come to tow the car away. Although the vehicle may be gone, the property owner now has damage that they must repair at their own expense. This damage will probably cost them more to repair than the cost of the tow.
 
By calling a reputable tow provider, you can feel safe knowing that the tow company will remove the vehicle and no property damage will occur‌. Although there is a fee associated with towing the vehicle away, most property owners will pay the money without a second thought. They know removing the car will improve the curb appeal of the property and therefore its value.

​Additional Services

Towing companies also assist with various other tasks. The truck towing provider will bring gas to a driver stranded because they forgot to put fuel in their vehicle and help those locked out of their car. They can also assist with towing a motorcycle or other motor vehicle when needed. If you believe you would benefit from a tow truck service, call. The customer services representatives will share whether the company can assist you or if there is someone else you need to call.
 
 Every driver benefits from having access to roadside help. No person is immune to disaster while out on the road. Road debris, mechanical failure, and other drivers all could lead to a person needing a tow. When this happens, reach out to a wrecker service. The company will send someone out to get you back on the road quickly.
 
Truck towing providers remain on call around the clock. They recognize people travel nights, weekends, and holidays, so they always have someone ready to help. Reach out in your time of need. They are here to help. Contact us at Anchor Towing today to help getting you back on the road!
