After you've been in a fender bender or your vehicle breaks down, getting towed to your local auto body shop is essential to restore the car’s functionality. If you're considering driving your car to that location or renting a trailer or asking a friend to help, here's a list of reasons why hiring a professional towing company is the best path forward. 

3 Benefits of Hiring a Professional Towing Company

1. Proper Vehicle Handling

Towing a vehicle properly requires experience and care. A professional towing company will staff drivers that understand how to handle your vehicle to prevent unnecessary damage. They will maneuver your vehicle, so it's connected to the tow truck as directed and secured at each attachment point or around the tires to restrict movement while in transit, reducing the risk of added damage. 

2. Experience & Knowledge 

While towing experts make the process look easy, getting a vehicle onto a flatbed or properly connected to a wheel-lift takes precision. They'll have formal training to ensure your car is perfectly situated to move onto a flatbed's hydraulic ramp, secured while in transit, and driven to the destination of your choosing. A professional will know exactly what to do to get you to your mechanic quickly. 

3. Safety

Most importantly, calling a car towing team with experience provides added peace of mind and timely assistance that gets you to a safe location. Before towing your car from an accident, they'll evaluate the damage you've sustained to ensure they have the right equipment to move you. When your car sits low or has damage on the undercarriage, they can opt for a flatbed truck or dollies for added protection. 

Better still, you won't have to worry about your own safety as you attempt to get your vehicle moving. You'll also protect fellow commuters as your tow truck driver will know how to accelerate, decelerate, take turns, and park without causing road hazards.
