What To Do While Waiting for Towing Services

While waiting for towing services, it is vital that you and the other occupants of your vehicle remain safe. After your vehicle has broken-down, follow the safety tips below. Then get in touch with Jack’s Repair Shop for towing services.

• Move Your Vehicle Out of Traffic- If possible, drive your vehicle out of ongoing traffic. When your vehicle has broken-down, it is not ideal to leave the vehicle blocking traffic. Instead, it is best if you can move to the shoulder of the road while waiting for your towing services.
• Use Your Hazard Lights- It is especially important to turn on your vehicle’s hazard lights if visibility is low. For example, if it is dark, foggy, snowy, or rainy, it is essential that your vehicle have its hazard lights on if it is near the road. This way, other drivers will be aware of potential hazards and will drive around your vehicle.
• Remain Inside Your Vehicle- While waiting for a towing service, it is best to wait inside your vehicle if you can. Pedestrians aren’t the easiest for other drivers to spot, and by staying in your vehicle and out of traffic, you are doing what you can to remain safe.
• Gather Your Belongings- Make sure all of your vehicle’s paperwork and essential belongs are gathered while waiting for the tow truck to arrive. When you are in a hurry to grab your things, you are more likely to forget something essential. Prepare for the tow truck’s arrival by knowing exactly which items from your car that you have to take with you.
• Be Cognizant of Your Phone’s Battery- Your phone is how you can reach out for help when you are in emergency situations. While waiting for a towing service, it may be tempting to play games or scroll through social media on your phone. However, we recommend conserving your battery life unless you have a way to charge your phone.

Having a broken-down vehicle can be frustrating, stressful, and even scary. However, by contacting Jack’s Repair Shop, our towing services will be there to help. If you are in Corry, PA; Jamestown, NY; or Ripley, NY, get in touch with us for towing services.
