No driver wants to experience a breakdown—especially if they don’t know which towing services company they should call for help. As the team at B & B Wrecker Service in Bolivar, Missouri, suggests, find a good towing company in advance if you wish to avoid waiting for an unreliable towing company to show up.

The following tips can help you choose a good towing services company to work with:

• Availability: A vehicle breakdown never happens at a convenient time. If you need to get towed to an auto repair shop late at night or on the weekend, it won’t help to contact a towing company that’s only open Monday through Friday. Make sure the towing services company you choose to work with is available 24/7 so they can provide the help you need when you need it.
• Rates: It feels a little dishonest when you get a tow only to find out later your service was subject to a wide range of costly fees. When investigating a towing services provider, ask about any extra fees—including additional charges for long-distance or weekend tows—so your bill doesn’t come as an unpleasant surprise. It can also be helpful to find out if the shop can work with your insurance to lower your costs.
• Professionalism: During a breakdown, you’re already stressed about the situation. Suffering a breakdown, being stuck on the side of the road, is an already stressful situation. Dealing with an unprofessional towing company may add to that stress. Ask friends and neighbors for recommendations, check out online reviews, or even visit the towing company’s facilities yourself to see how they treat their customers. Choosing a towing company with a stellar reputation can save you a lot of headaches later on.
