Idaho Falls Towing

Imagine heading to a critical business meeting or an important interview, and you are running late. Suddenly, your car runs out of gas in the middle of nowhere. Such situations leave many people stranded, confused, not knowing what to do or who to call. Vehicle breakdowns, accidents, and other road incidences are unfortunate but common events that occur unexpectedly. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that 12 million people need roadside assistance each year. The assistance can range from simple locked doors to actual life and death situations. Calling for roadside assistance can be a daunting and stressful experience, especially if you are in a rush.

A reliable towing and recovery service can manage all kinds of roadway accidents and incidents. A professional towing company handles every situation from vehicle breakdowns, collisions with other vehicles or objects, single-vehicle crashes, to load shift. Having a towing company on your speed dial can go a long way in making the roadside assistance process fast, efficient, and as smooth as possible.

What you Need to Know about Towing Service

No one wants to get stranded by the roadside because of an accident, breakdown, or other road incidents. However, such occurrences happen and are often unpredictable. Your best bet is calling for a towing service company if you find yourself in such predicaments.

  • If you run out of gas
  • Flat tire
  • When your car breaks down
  • If you need a jump

Types of Vehicles That Can Be Towed

You may wonder if your vehicle qualifies for towing services. Yes, all passenger vehicles are eligible for towing services. Most towing companies will tow small cars, compact SUVs, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), electric vehicles (EVs), vans, and trailers. Some towing companies also feature heavy-duty towing services, can tow trucks, buses, farm equipment, motor homes, and semi-tractor vehicles.

Types of Tow Trucks

You want your vehicle handled with the utmost care, causing no damage while towing. Therefore, it is wise to know different ‌tow trucks and their functions to identify the right truck for your vehicle. Common ‌tow trucks include:

  • A hydraulic flatbed is a truck featured with a ramp operated by hydraulics to load a vehicle onto the flatbed
  • Integrated tow trucks use two technologies—a boom and a wheel lift. It is a versatile choice for many vehicles but primarily used for heavy-duty vehicles
  • Hook and chain use a hook and chain to tow vehicles, primarily for wrecked vehicles
  • Wheel lift this truck uses special equipment to secure a vehicle by the front or rear set of wheels

In most cases, a towing service professional will know what kind of truck is right for your vehicle in any situation, weather, and location.

The Cost of Towing Service

Towing service costs depend on distance, type of vehicle, time of day, state, and towing company. Therefore, it is advisable to call and inquire how much it would cost to tow your vehicle with the towing company. Before calling for a tow truck, contact your insurance company and ask if the car insurance includes towing service.
