Roadside assistance and towing services differ in numerous ways. Determining which option is the right fit for your situation often comes down to the condition of your car. Let’s outline when you might require roadside assistance vs towing services.
ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE: Roadside assistance is for those small fixes that can be addressed with the quick help of a skilled mechanic. This include services such as: • battery jumpstart services • tire repair and replacement services • car lockout services
TOWING SERVICES: Towing services are for those times when a car needs to be moved from one spot to another via a tow truck. When a car is no longer in drivable condition, towing services are the only way to remove that vehicle from its current location and transport it to a new site.
Typically, a flatbed tow truck or wheel-lift tow truck can get the job done in these circumstances. A flatbed tow truck is equipped with a platform, which means all four wheels remain off the ground. Comparatively, a wheel-lift tow truck transports a vehicle by keeping two or four wheels on the ground at all times during the transportation process.
Tow services are not just for emergencies, though. You can utilize a towing service in a wide range of circumstances.
