Tow-tally False
When you’re stuck on the side of the road, stressed and waiting for help, it’s easy to feel uncertain about what comes next. We’ve all heard stories about towing and tow trucks that make us nervous—damaged cars, long waits, and hefty bills. Today, we want to set the record straight by debunking five common myths about any I-5 towing service we execute, so you know exactly what to expect when you need a tow.
Myth 1: Towing Always Damages Your Car
One of the biggest myths we hear is that towing always damages your vehicle. Many people imagine outdated towing methods and equipment that could scratch or dent a car.
How Modern Towing Keeps Your Car Safe
- We use flatbed and wheel-lift tow trucks designed to safely transport any vehicle.
- Flatbeds keep the entire vehicle off the road, eliminating the risk of damage from contact with the ground.
- Our experienced operators know the best methods to secure and tow different types of vehicles.
The right equipment and skilled operators ensure your car stays safe from damage.
Myth 2: Towing Is Only for Big Emergencies
Another common myth is that you only need towing after a serious accident or major breakdown. This is far from the truth. Towing services are available for many reasons, big and small.
Situations Where Towing Can Help
- Locked out of your vehicle: If you can’t get in, we can help get you back on the road.
- Flat tires or no spare: We can tow your vehicle to a nearby shop or change the tire for you.
- Out of gas: We can bring fuel to your location or tow you to the nearest gas station.
Towing is not just for big emergencies; it’s also there for everyday troubles.
Myth 3: All Tow Trucks Are the Same
Not all tow trucks are built alike. Many believe any tow truck will do the job, but that’s not always true.
Different Tow Trucks for Different Jobs
- Flatbed tow trucks: Perfect for long-distance towing or transporting vehicles that cannot be driven.
- Wheel-lift tow trucks: Ideal for short distances or tight spaces where a flatbed can’t fit.
- Heavy-duty tow trucks: Designed for large vehicles like buses or trucks.
Towing companies use a variety of trucks to make sure each job gets the right equipment.
Myth 4: Towing Is Too Expensive
Many people assume that towing services are costly. The reality is different.
Facts About Towing Costs
- Costs depend on the distance and type of service needed, making it more flexible than many think.
- Some insurance plans or roadside assistance programs cover towing fees, reducing out-of-pocket expenses.
- We offer fair, transparent pricing so you know what to expect with every I-5 towing job we undertake.
A good towing service provides value, not just a price tag.
Myth 5: Towing Takes Forever
People often think that calling for a tow means waiting for hours. But in most cases, that’s not true.
How We Prioritize Quick Response
- We aim to get to you as quickly as possible with the nearest available truck.
- Our operators know the local roads and routes, reducing arrival times.
- We always strive to meet estimated times and get you back on the road quickly.
Fast response times and efficient service make a difference when you’re stuck on the side of the road.
