When Do You Need Light Duty Towing?
There are many reasons you might find yourself needing a light duty tow. Recognizing these common scenarios can help you know when to call us:
- Vehicle Breakdowns: From engine trouble to transmission failure, if your car can’t safely be driven, we’ll transport it to your preferred mechanic, like our own Thompsons Auto Repair & Towing facility right here in Tempe, or any other shop you choose.
- Flat Tires or Tire Blowouts: While we offer roadside assistance for simple tire changes, sometimes a tire is too damaged, or you don’t have a spare. We can tow your vehicle to a tire shop or home.
- Accident Recovery: After an unfortunate collision, even a minor one, your vehicle may not be safe or legal to drive. We work carefully to recover your car from the scene and transport it securely.
- Battery Issues: If a jump start isn’t enough, or your battery issues are more complex, towing your vehicle for a full diagnostic and repair might be necessary.
- Overheating: Driving an overheating vehicle can cause severe, costly damage. It’s always safer to have it towed to a repair facility.
- Locked Out: Although we offer lockout service as part of our roadside assistance, if your vehicle needs to be moved for another reason after being locked out, we can help.
- Off-Road Recovery (Light Duty): Sometimes a vehicle might get stuck in a ditch or soft shoulder. If it’s a light duty vehicle, we can often assist with careful recovery.
