Six Things You Can Do To Speed Up The Arrival Of Your 24/7 Emergency Towing Service

When you're in an emergency situation out on the road and need to call a 24/7 emergency towing service, you want your towing service to arrive as quickly as possible. There are a few things you can do to make it so that you get fast towing service regardless of what time of day you need emergency towing.

The following are six things you can do to speed up the arrival of your 24/7 emergency towing service

Choose a 24/7 emergency towing service that's located as close by as possible

The towing service you choose can have a big impact on how quickly you get an emergency tow. Make sure you look carefully and choose a towing service that is located close by so that the driver can get to you as quickly as possible. 

Don't waste any time before calling a 24/7 emergency towing service

You're going to have to wait longer for your emergency towing service to arrive if you don't call a towing service right away. Call a towing service immediately after your emergency situation arises so that you don't have to wait too long before you can be on your way. 

Give detailed information about your location

Your towing service needs to be able to find you. Before you call in to request towing service, make sure that you'll be able to specify your location.

The more information you can provide about your location, the better off you will be. If you are in a remote location, try to think of landmarks that you've recently passed. One great way to help your towing service to locate you is to send a message with your GPS coordinates. This should be easy to do if you have a smartphone. 

Make yourself visible

Your towing service may find you more quickly — especially at night — if you are able to make yourself more visible. This is easy if you have an emergency kit in your vehicle that includes roadway flares. Take advantage of such supplies if you have them available to maximize visibility. 

Be available to answer any calls from your emergency towing service

Your 24/7 towing service might call you back after you request service if the driver is having trouble finding you. This makes it essential for you to be attentive to phone calls and answer the phone right away if you get a call from the towing service. 

Stay close by to your vehicle

If you wander away from your vehicle while you're waiting for your towing service to arrive, this could delay your pickup. Stay as close to your vehicle as possible so that your towing service doesn't struggle to locate you. 

About Me

Becoming A Responsible Towing Patron

When I was sixteen, I bought an old beater car from one of my neighbors. I absolutely loved the color and the fact that I could customize the interior. Unfortunately, the engine had more than a few minor problems. After driving it for a few weeks, it started to slow down and sputter. Instead of pulling my car off to the side, I decided to stop right in the middle of a busy intersection, figuring that the tow truck driver could deliver me from danger. As I watched the driver dodge oncoming traffic, I realized that it was important to teach other people about how to become a responsible towing patron.
