The end goal in a breakdown is to get yourself and your vehicle to a safe place while you wait for the professionals to arrive with further help. In the Thomasville, NC, area, Garrett’s Towing & Recovery is the company to call. With an extensive fleet of trucks for light and heavy-duty towing and 24-hour roadside assistance, they can get you out of a tough spot and back on the road faster than any other company can.

While this situation may be nerve wracking, you need to keep a cool head in order to maintain your safety. These towing professionals offer the following steps for maintaining your safety after a breakdown:

  • Do Not Attempt To Leave The Car: If your car stops entirely, stay in the car while you call for and await help from the towing company.
  • Get Your Vehicle Off The Road, If Possible: In the majority of breakdowns, you will have a little time and momentum to steer to the side of the road, so do your best to guide your car onto the shoulder as far away from a curve as you can coast, and throw on your hazard lights as soon as possible. Once you have reached the side of the road, put the car in park and pull your emergency brake.
  • Place Flares: If you can safely step out of the car and have road flares on hand, carefully place a couple about 50 feet behind your vehicle to alert oncoming drivers to the fact that your car is not moving.

Once you’ve followed these steps, wait for Garrett’s Towing & Recovery to arrive. All of their drivers are trained in recovery roadside assistance, which means they can help with tire changes, or jump start your car to get you on your way again with no need for towing.
