If you're ever in a collision, stuck in snow, or stranded with a dead battery or empty fuel tank, you'll need a reputable towing service to help you out of trouble. But how do you select the right tow company? With a bit of forethought, planning, and research, you should be able to find a reliable service. In the sections below, you'll find some important tips for choosing the right tow truck company.

Tips for Choosing the Right Towing Company

Word of Mouth

Ask your friends, neighbors, and colleagues to recommend a towing service with whom they've had good luck in the past. Word of mouth is one of the best ways to choose a reliable service, as you presumably know and trust the people making the recommendations.

Online Reviews

The next best step is to read online reviews of different tow truck companies. Google, Yelp, and other review sites give you access to multiple viewpoints, so even though you don't know the reviewers, you can often get an accurate account of the company's practices and customer service record.

Your Auto Repair Shop

Another good resource is the manager of your trusted auto repair shop. They can often recommend a reliable towing service in your area because they deal with a wide variety of tow truck drivers during the course of business.

Your Car Insurance Agent

Your car insurance agent may also be able to help you select a good towing company. They may know which services accept your insurance—or at least interface smoothly with your insurance company.

By List of Services

Once you've narrowed the field, select a tow company based on the services they offer and their hours of operations. If you feel you may need lockout services, fuel delivery, or a battery charge in addition to towing, make sure you select a company who offers those services. Also, it's important that you choose a company that dispatches tow trucks 24/7. That way, you're never left stranded in the middle of the night.
