What is Roadside Assistance For?
Typical roadside emergency services are:
• Auto-Lockouts locked you keys in your car. Our technician can get you back inside your vehicle and retrieve those keys.
• Two things bedevil the driver and commuter. First are bad tires and running of gas. Our roadside technicians and change that tire or provide a temporary to get you moving. If you are elderly, physically impaired or just not mechanically inclined tire changes are part and parcel of roadside assistance.
• Running out of fuel or low oil. Either can be encountered, especially for those who ignore their ‘check engine’ warning light. No fuel and blown tires along with overheating problems compromise the majority of service calls.
• Lastly overheating, you need fluids and/or repairs because of radiator or heating hose in punching out water like a lawn sprinkler or you are venting steam like an old locomotive. Another malady is a broken serpentine fan belt. Older vehicles had some redundancy in fan belts, but modern cars and trucks have a single serpentine fan belt, and if it goes you lose everything: water pump, AC, power steering and alternator.
• Batteries will fail many times without warning. Battery replacement or jump starts will get you on your way.
• Quit running. A tow to the garage and our diagnostic technician will hook-up and tell you what’s wrong with your car or truck.
Mobile Mechanics & Towing to Auto Repair Shop
Not all automotive snags can be accommodated roadside. You may need the capabilities of a well-appointed garage. Another avenue that is available is ‘Mobile Automobile Repair’. But there are limitations on Roadside Assistance and what Mobile Repair can accomplish, sometimes you just need a garage. Certain repairs require a garage setting versus a field repair. Given that almost every repair scenario is completed in a garage much easier that out in the field. One is parts availability and bulk fluids availability. Field diagnostics suffer from what can be done in the shop. Generally, shop mechanics have a more robust collection of tools than a field technician.
Flatbed VS Wheel Lift Tow Trucks
Tows vary. The most popular method which is also the most easiest on the vehicle towed is the flatbed truck. The towed vehicle is carried with no wheels in contact with the road. Wheel lift towing only allows road contact with two wheels, though dollies are usually also an option with none of the towed vehicle having wheel contact with the road surface. The advantage of the wheel lift tow is that they can get in tight places denied to the flatbed tow. Short distance towing is usually better served with the wheel lift method as are two-wheel drive vehicles.
