Car trouble is frustrating and inconvenient, but it's an inevitable part of modern life. From a deflated tire to a dead battery, many problems can leave you stranded on the side of the road. Thankfully, contacting an auto towing service will help you during times of need.

When to Call a Towing Service

1. You're Stuck in the Snow

Slide-offs are unfortunately common in Nebraska during winter. Icy roads cause drivers to lose control, and vehicles can end up nose-deep in a snowbank. 

A tow truck can haul you back onto the road, and you'll be back on your way in no time.

2. You've Been in a Collision

 accidents tend to leave vehicles misshapen, and your car may not be drivable after a significant collision. After exchanging contact information with the other driver and discussing the incident with the police, a towing service will bring the car to a body shop for repairs.

3. You're Out of Gas

Wrecker services normally offer roadside assistance along with auto towing. Many will deliver a gallon of gas to get you back on the road. Be sure to drive to a gas station and fill up the tank so that you don't run out again.

4. You've Locked Your Keys in the Car

A tow truck driver can usually help you unlock the vehicle. They'll insert a flat, foot-long blade with a hook on one end between the window and the door panel. They'll lift the lock mechanism so that you can retrieve the keys.
