Dispelling the common myths in towing service

The moment we need to hire towing services, the bad picture of a towing company appears in our mind. There are many reasons for receiving a bad rap for towing services and one of the most common is that they are used to tow or boot cars from illegal parking. But the truth is that towing companies offer invaluable service that people only use at times of emergency.

In this post, we are busting some common myths in towing services.

Towing service is overpriced - This is a common claim that couldn’t be further from the truth. Although tow truck services are more expensive than calling a taxi, the word ‘overpriced’ completely ignores the high cost of tow truck operation. Towing fees are used to cover many expenses that the average customer doesn’t consider. Tow trucks are expensive vehicles and they are difficult to operate and maintain.

They only offer towing services - Another misconception that hurts the reputations of tow truck companies is that towing is the only service they offer. This myth leads people to think that tow trucks are only used to tow illegally parked vehicles. However, this is not true. Towing companies offer a myriad of helpful services to get you out of a jam.

It is not available in rural areas - Some people think that if they are too far out in a rural area, they don’t have any chance of getting a tow truck. This is probably due to countless movie scenes of someone stranded out in the middle of nowhere. But let me bust this myth for you. Towing services are available everywhere. Even if you are in a rural area, you can give a call to a towing company and hire the services as per your needs.

They take forever to show up - Last but not least, many people think that if they hire towing service in a remote area, they have to wait for a very long time to actually get the help. But this was the case when towing trucks were not built with GPS trackers. Thanks to the advancement in technology, every tow truck features a GPS tracker and can easily locate your locations within minutes.

I hope this post has helped you bust some of your myths related to towing services.
