OUR SERVICES
TOWING SERVICE
Towing is a very important part of our 3 Stage Service package. It is almost always required or recommended to tow a vehicle that has been in an accident. Today's vehicles have so many safety features built into the exterior panels and these panels are typically affected first in a collision. Towing can actually prevent further incident by securing the vehicle involved, and keeping the driver safe. Newer vehicles have safety systems built into them that can steer the vehicle for you if it senses an object or unsafe maneuver is being attempted. In the event of an accident where the panel sensors are mounted on smashed or damaged panels it could cause the vehicle to pull out of the hands of the driver, or stop suddenly because the sensors are out of position or damaged. Towing takes these risks out of the equation and safely transports the damaged vehicle to our shop.
Towing the vehicle directly to our shop is crucial because we want the vehicle to arrive in the exact same condition and mileage from when the accident took place. This process prevents additional damages that could be caused by attempting to drive a damaged vehicle. The onboard computers in vehicles today are time and mileage stamped when an incident occurs. When the vehicle is towed to us directly, we can be confident that all the “trouble codes” pulled from our electronic scanners are current.
Towing should also be considered when a lamp is broken. Whether it is a headlamp, or signal lamp, it is unsafe to drive the vehicle with a lamp out. Insurance companies will also urge their customers to avoiding driving their vehicles with a lamp out, as you can get injury to yourself or others.
