Choosing a Towing Company

When your car needs to be moved, you want it done right. Here's what matters.

What to Look For

Response Time

When you're stuck, waiting matters. A company with operators spread across the region will get to you faster.

Right Equipment

Different vehicles need different trucks:

  • **Flatbeds** - Best for low cars, AWD vehicles, and damaged cars
  • **Wheel-lifts** - Good for standard cars, faster loading
  • **Flatbed** - For all vehicles

Professionalism

  • Do they answer the phone properly?
  • Can they explain what will happen?
  • Do they treat your vehicle with care?

Transparent Pricing

You should know the cost before they load your car. No surprises.

Insurance and Compliance

Any legitimate tow company should be properly insured and certified.

Red Flags

  • Won't give you a price upfront
  • Takes an unreasonably long time to respond
  • Doesn't ask where you want the car taken
  • Damaged or poorly maintained trucks
  • Rude or dismissive on the phone

Questions to Ask

1. How long until you can get here?

2. What will it cost?

3. What type of truck are you sending?

4. Can you take it to [my preferred location]?

5. Do you work with my insurance company?
