Let’s be honest: The last thing you want to do when you’re experiencing car trouble is wait around for hours for the towing company to show up, right? Because of this, Heinrich Collision in Hilton, NY, offers efficient towing services 24 hours a day. They know choosing the right towing company isn’t always easy, so they’ve compiled some tips for you.

If you’re in need of a reliable tow truck, here are five things to consider that will help you choose the right company:

  • Up-Front Pricing: It’s important to know how much your tow will cost at the outset, so ask for the rates of any towing company you call. A refusal to give a clear estimate should raise red flags.
  • Type Of Tow Truck: There are several different types of tow trucks (flatbed, hook and chain, wheel lift), and some are better than others. Inquire what type of tow trucks any potential towing company uses and try to avoid hook and chain tow trucks, which can cause damage to your vehicle in the event of a collision.
  • tow truckAsk For Credentials: Any reliable towing company will be licensed and certified to be performing the work they’re doing. Don’t forget to ask what type of certifications their technicians have, as well as whether they’re properly insured.
  • Forms Of Payment: Not every tow truck company accepts all forms of payment. If you want to avoid any confusion, ask them what types of payment they accept up front and whether any of their labor is covered under warranty.
  • Insurance Coverage: Often, if you have AAA or auto insurance, your tow may be covered; they may even have preferred towing companies they use. If you’ve suffered a collision or breakdown, it might be helpful to contact your insurance provider or third-party roadside assistance organization first before calling for a tow truck.
