Car towing

Is tow service really necessary? Do you need a tow truck to take your vehicle home or to a garage if it breaks down and can't be driven? In the past, many drivers would pull the vehicle themselves using another vehicle. While this still happens occasionally, it's not recommended and for good reason.

There are many things that can go wrong that can create a lot of problems for you and the person driving the other vehicle and that's why a tow service is so important. If you break down, your best and safest option is to call your roadside assistance representative and have them send out a dependable towing service to get you and your vehicle off the road.

So why is pulling your vehicle with another one not a good idea? The first reason is that if you don't hook it up just right and use large, strong chains to hook them together, the vehicle could come lose. If this happens, it can veer off the road and go over an embankment or hit a tree and cause even more damage. Even worse, it could veer into the opposite lane and hit another vehicle or stop dead in the road where someone behind you could hit it.

Another reason using a towing service is important is because you can cause damage to the back end of the vehicle doing the pulling and the front end of the one being towed if they hit. It's very hard to keep the two vehicles going the same speed and very easy for the towed vehicle to crash into the one pulling it causing damage to both automobiles. It's also difficult to steer many vehicles when they are not running, which makes it difficult to keep the towed vehicle in the road.

If the engine of the vehicle doing the towing is not larger than the one being towed, you run the risk of putting too much strain on the vehicle and this could cause the transmission to start slipping or even cause the engine to blow.

You also have to consider that in some areas, towing a vehicle with anything other an actual tow truck is illegal. It's considered a dangerous practice that can put other drivers in jeopardy. If you're in one of these areas, you run the risk of being ticketed and that could cost you a lot of extra money. Most likely, it will be much more than a roadside assistance plan with tow service would cost.

Using a tow service is important because it's safe and it protects your vehicle. You won't have to worry about any of the things listed above happening. Towing companies are experienced and they have all of the right equipment needed to get the job done in a fast and efficient manner. You don't have to worry about making a mistake that could damage someone else's property, your property or cause injury to someone because you were trying to save money by not calling a qualified towing company.
