  • How is a car towed if the wheels are damaged?

    If a car has damaged wheels, tilt tray towing is the safest and most common method. The tilt tray lowers to the ground, allowing the vehicle to be winched or pulled onto the tray without needing it to roll. This prevents further damage and eliminates the risk of dragging the vehicle. Operators use skates, trolleys or wheel dollies when necessary to move the car into position. This type of tow is ideal for cars involved in accidents or with broken axles or seized brakes.

  • Can I stay in the vehicle while it’s being towed?

    No, for safety reasons, passengers are not allowed to stay in the vehicle while it’s being towed. Being inside a moving, towed vehicle poses serious risks, even over short distances. Most tow truck operators will allow one passenger to ride in the cab of the truck, and they’ll advise you on how to proceed if you’re not able to travel with the vehicle. If you have multiple passengers, it’s best to arrange a separate lift.

  • What’s the difference between towing and roadside assistance?

    Roadside assistance is designed to get your car moving again without towing. It includes services like jump-starting batteries, changing flat tyres, unlocking cars, and delivering emergency fuel. Towing is used when your vehicle can’t be driven and needs to be transported to a mechanic, crash repairer or safe location. If roadside help can’t fix the issue on the spot, towing is the next step. Some providers offer both services, but they’re billed and delivered separately.
