Getting Towed for the First Time? Take These Steps

If you’ve never had a vehicle towed, it can be an overwhelming, anxiety-inducing experience. If you take the proper steps, you can make your experience as painless as possible and get back on the road in no time. Here’s what to do if you’re getting towed for the first time. 

Call Your Insurance Company

If your car has broken down or is otherwise defective, you should contact your insurance company to find out what repairs your policy covers. Your insurance agent can also act as a point of reference throughout your towing experience. This will also help you when arrive at the repair shop, as you’ll be able to determine which services your car requires. 

Prepare Your Car for Towing

After you’ve contacted Barnett’s Towing and we’ve dispatched one of our reliable towing pros, you’ll want to prepare your vehicle for towing. Be sure to clear the car of any valuables, including your essential documents like the title, proof of insurance, and registration. You may also wish to remove personal items that you would otherwise not be able to access until the car arrives at the repair shop. Once you’re done, take a photo of your car with your phone or a camera and wait for your tow truck to arrive.

Take a deep breath, remind yourself that it can happen to anyone and rest assured that Barnett’s Towing is the best in the business.
