What is tow car service?

Tow car service, also known as vehicle recovery or roadside assistance, is a service that involves the transportation of a disabled or broken down vehicle from one location to another. Tow car services can be requested by motorists who experience car trouble on the road, such as flat tires, engine failures, battery problems, or accidents.

Tow car services typically involve a tow truck or wrecker that can hook up to the disabled vehicle and transport it to a destination of the driver's choice. Some tow car services may also offer additional services such as jump-starts, tire changes, fuel delivery, and lockout assistance.

Tow car services may be provided by private companies or public agencies, such as police departments or highway patrol. Drivers can generally contact tow car services directly or request assistance through their car insurance provider or a roadside assistance program.

The cost of tow car service can vary depending on the type of vehicle being towed, the distance of the tow, and any additional services provided. Pricing may be based on a flat fee or a per-mile rate. Some tow car services may also offer membership programs or monthly subscriptions that provide discounted rates for frequent users.
