Avoiding Tow Truck Scams in the Winter

3/12/2020

 
Picture
During the winter, it's not unusual for accidents to happen. Snowy roads can frequently lead to hydroplaning and can make your automobile slide right off the road or cause an accident. When these sorts of incidents happen, you might have to get your vehicle towed to a mechanic or pulled out of a ditch. During these situations, it is only natural to feel anxiety, but it is also vital to make sure to avoid tow truck scams.

While you can't predict when you may need a tow truck, it is crucial to be ready just in case. Begin by researching so that you are familiar with all the Syracuse towing companies in the area. Put the number of reliable towing service in your cell phone to make sure that you have easy access to a dependable tow truck service in case you need it.

Avoid Unmarked Tow Trucks
In case you have an accident or need a tow truck in the wintertime, be cautious of a tow truck that comes to your spot unannounced. This is imperative if the tow truck isn't marked with a company name and phone number.

Moreover, keep in mind that you don't have to pay more money because of adverse weather. If your car is in a difficult place, then getting your car out might require more work that could necessitate more payment. But otherwise, you shouldn't be paying more money just because it's wintertime.

It's smart to get a cost estimate for the job before scheduling for the tow service to come to your spot. If you call one company and get an estimate that sounds too high for the required job, contact another tow truck service.

Documenting damages
Take a picture of your vehicle with your phone before the arrival of the tow truck. This will give you a record of what your car looked like before service. This way, if there are any issues, you will know if the damage happened as a result of your accident or because of a problem with the towing company.

You will always receive great customer service from Buffalo Towing, so contact us for all your towing needs.
