Roadside Assistance

11/15/2018

 
However much you’ve maintained your vehicle, some situations may arise that could force you to require professional assistance while on the road. You cannot avoid such things as running over a nail, sudden issues with engines, and abrupt battery malfunction. Here are some important things you should know about roadside assistance.

A Range of Assistance Programs
Different companies offer different roadside service programs. Most providers do tire replacements, car lock-out services, towing, and jump-starts. Others offer additional services. It is, therefore, important that you read about each company’s program to know the range of their services and the charges.

The Radius Factor
Some situations may force you to hire towing services. In such a case, you need a tow truck. The best thing to do is check every service provider’s towing radius. Some companies charge a fee per mile after moving your vehicle for only three miles. If you cannot avoid these providers, locate the closest garage possible to cut on costs.

Do Enough Research
You have to do some deep research before choosing a roadside assistance service provider. Make sure you study each program carefully and the associated charges. Never assume that all companies offer the same thing. You could get stranded if you do so. Especially, read reviews of prospective service providers carefully before settling on one.

Make a Wise Decision
It is important to call a professional when you are stuck on the road with your car since some situations are complicated. After doing research, ensure that you choose fast, reliable, experienced, and affordable services. Always ensure that they ask for your consent before doing anything on your vehicle.

Portland  Towing is awesome. I had a very usual request to tow my utility trailer that was full of concrete to the dump so I could dump it like a dump truck. Sure enough they sent Scott out and he got it done. So if you have an unusual tow don’t hesitate to call them. They do everything they can to get it done!!!
