We’ve been in the towing business for a long time. Over the years of towing cars and trucks in Charlotte there’s probably not a scenario we haven’t seen. Like the time we salvaged a motorcycle out of a tree or the time we were called to fish a ’55 Chevy out of a pond. Trust us – we’ve seen it all.
However, there are a number of basic towing service calls consistently get every day, and we do get questions from time to time on what these actually are. So today, since everyone is into “Top 5” lists, I wanted to go over the top five reasons why people call for a towing service….
1. Accidentally Locking Your Keys in Your Car
It can happen to the most diligent person. You are in a hurry and leave your keys in your car as you lock your car door. There are several tips to help you avoid locking your keys in your car. (See our previous blog post to learn how to prevent accidentally locking your keys in your car.)
2. Your Car Overheats
This issue often affects older vehicles when the radiator hose begins to wear. In new vehicles, overheating can be caused by forgetting to check the coolant levels at the beginning of the season or you are low on oil. You can help prevent this from occurring by having your car serviced by a mechanic at the beginning of the summer season as most overheating occurs during the hot months of summer.
3. You Experience a Flat Tire
A flat tire or a blowout occurs when the tires on the vehicle are old, the alignment is off or you run over something sharp. Rotating your tires and changing them when they become worn can help reduce the risk of a blowout. You can help prevent the need for a tow by keeping a spare tire and a jack in your vehicle at all times.
4. You Have a Dead Battery
If your battery is old, dirty or the connections are corroded, your car may not be able to crank. Another common thing that happens is accidentally leaving your vehicle’s lights on and draining the battery. When this occurs, you will need to have your car jumped off. You can help avoid the need to call a tow truck by keeping a set or jumper cable in your vehicle.
5. Your Car Will Not Start
There is nothing more annoying than having a vehicle that will not start. You can help reduce the risk of this by having your car serviced regularly. If you do experience a car problem, call Terry’s Auto Service and Towing. Our roadside assistance will be happy to assist you and get your vehicle back running.
