Analyze the situation

Before attempting to tow your car, assess the situation you are caught up with carefully and choose the reliable car recovery company in your locality. Determine the cause of the breakdown and inform the towing company clearly about the issues you are facing.

Check whether it’s safe to stay in the current location until the recovery team arrives. If you’re on a busy road or in a hazardous area, prioritize your personal safety and stay safe.

Using hazard lights as a warning indicator

Activate your hazard lights to alert other drivers that your vehicle is in distress and is waiting for the necessary help to arrive. If you have warning triangles or reflective markers, place them at a safe distance behind your car to give oncoming traffic advanced notice of the situation you are caught up with, this is important to avoid traffic and further accidents.

Make sure the recovery company has the right towing equipment

Most reliable car towing companies across the UAE nowadays use advanced equipment and well-maintained tow trucks to carefully tow your vehicle to the desired location. Ensure that all connections to your car are secure before beginning the towing process. Make sure the recovery company that you choose never compromise on the safety during the towing process.

Have a clear communication with the provider

Communicate the information clearly through phone calls while contacting the towing company. Similarly, once they are very near to you, and cannot locate you, use hand signals or agreed-upon gestures to convey directions, especially if you are unable to communicate verbally. 

Apart from the above-mentioned tips, there are certain other things that you can do as a potential owner during the car towing to have peace of mind and a safe towing experience.

Try to stay calm

Try to be calm and composed throughout the towing process. Stress and panic can lead you to make mistakes that may affect you and your vehicle’s safety until the towing provider arises. Once the recovery team of your choice arrives, have trust in them and stay relaxed throughout the towing process.

Seek only professional for towing

Towing up your car on your own with another vehicle support from friends and families is not usually advised as it can jeopardize the safety of your vehicle, it’s advisable to call for professional towing assistance whenever necessary because they have the experience, equipment, and knowledge to handle various towing scenarios safely.
