1. Towing Services

The main service that these companies offer is towing vehicles. If your car breaks down and needs repair, the company will send a vehicle to transport it to the nearest auto repair shop.

2. Unlocking Doors

Many car owners are guilty of locking their keys in their cars. Sometimes this can happen when you're near your home or office. In fact, according to Agero, four out of five roadside emergencies happen in a familiar place, and more than 60% of the time, the driver isn't in a hurry. Still, there are times this will happen when you're in an unfamiliar location and in a hurry. When that happens, a towing company will send someone with the equipment to unlock your door.

3. Gas Delivery

If you run out of fuel in the middle of the road, call a towing company. There's no point in risking your safety by walking to a gas station. If you're in an unfamiliar area, sit tight, and the towing company will deliver gas to refuel your car. The gas should be enough to get you to the nearest service station.

4. Flat Tire Change

Accidents happen. You may not realize your tire is low on air when you leave your home, or you may accidentally run over something sharp that bursts your tire. If you don't know how to change your tire or you aren't carrying a spare and the tools needed, a towing company will be happy to help.

5. Battery Services

If your emergency involves batteries, a towing company can help jump start your vehicle. They have jumper cables to jump start your vehicle. If you don't know how to use jumper cables or have never used them before, don't try using them. You may end up hurting yourself or worsening the problem. Some towing companies also offer replacement batteries in case your battery is old and can't be jumped.

These are some of the services towing companies offer. Keep Capital District Towing's contact information readily available in your vehicle so you know who to call in the event of an emergency.
