Step 1: Assess Your Situation
Determine Towing Necessity Evaluate whether your vehicle needs towing or if roadside assistance can resolve the problem. Dead batteries, flat tires, and lockouts may not require towing.
Consider Safety If your vehicle creates safety hazards or cannot be repaired roadside, towing becomes necessary. Prioritize safety over attempting fixes in dangerous locations.
Note Your Location Identify your exact location using landmarks, street signs, mile markers, or GPS coordinates. Clear location information ensures fast tow truck dispatch.
Step 2: Choose a Towing Company
Select Reliable Service Choose reputable local companies like Charles County Towing with 24/7 availability, professional drivers, and transparent pricing.

Secure Valuables Remove personal belongings, important documents, and valuables from your vehicle before the tow truck arrives.
Gather Information Collect vehicle registration, insurance information, and any documentation needed for repair facilities or insurance claims.
Note Vehicle Condition Document any existing damage through photos if desired, especially for insurance purposes.

Verify Service Details Confirm destination, estimated cost, and any special handling requirements before the driver loads your vehicle.
Step 6: Complete Service
