Some drivers think tow trucks are only for extreme emergencies or aren't sure what situations qualify for towing services. Discount Towing and Recovery, one of Mountain Home's most established and respected companies, lists a few of the most common reasons you might need to call a tow truck.

Towing services are there to help you out of a variety of situations, such as:

• An Accident: If your car won't start or doesn't seem safe after a collision, a tow truck can be the only way to get it to the shop. However, just because you probably could drive your car after an accident doesn't mean you should. Hidden problems could render your car dangerous to drive, so if you have any doubts at all, you're best off calling a towing company.
• Overheating: Overheating can quickly destroy your engine, so when the motor starts running hot, you should pull over and shut it off right away. It may start back up, but doing so could make the problem much worse. Have it taken to a good mechanic, who may be able to fix the problem before it becomes a major issue.
• Dead Batteries: Most towing companies offer a variety of services in addition to transportation and recovery. Tow trucks usually have battery chargers as well as tire repair kits and other roadside assistance tools that enable the driver to help out on the spot without towing your vehicle anywhere.

Discount Towing and Recovery offers fast, reliable towing services throughout the Mountain Home area. Whether you're locked out of your car or you've been in an accident, you can rely on their experienced, professional drivers to have the skills and equipment they need to get you where you need to go safely.
