Car issues can come up at any time. More often than not, drivers can identify them early enough to get to a mechanic before their cars become dangerous to drive, but this isn’t always the case. Read on to find out about a few examples of when it’s a better idea to call Towing Services in San Diego.
Car Accidents
Unless the accident was nothing more than a fender bender, it’s best to call a tow truck instead of attempting to drive the vehicle away from the scene. Even if everything looks like it’s still in order, there’s always the chance that unseen damage will cause trouble further down the road. If there’s any chance that the vehicle’s brakes have been affected or that it has developed a fuel or oil leak, call a tow truck instead of driving it to a mechanic.
Overheating Engine
There are a variety of underlying problems that can cause an engine to overheat, from leaky water pumps to damaged fan belts. No matter what the underlying cause, a driver whose vehicle is overheating should stop driving it immediately to prevent further damage. Towing Services in San Diego can bring their vehicles to a mechanic who can identify the underlying problem and fix it without the potential for a blown head gasket.
Failure to Start
In some limited circumstances, it may be possible to get a vehicle that isn’t starting working again while out on the town. A dead battery can be jumped and a car that’s out of gas can be refilled. If drivers have already attempted these obvious quick fixes, the next step is to call a tow company to have the vehicle towed to a shop.
Out of Gas
If a vehicle runs out of gas in a parking lot, its driver can usually walk to a gas station and buy a gas jug to refill it. If a vehicle runs out of gas on the side of the highway, it’s never a good idea to leave the car. Instead, call USA Towing & Recovery and have it towed to the nearest gas station or ask if a driver can bring a jug of gas for a fee. You can also connect them on Facebook.
