Car Breaking Down on Road Trip or Out of Time in Addison, TX; Tow Home, Auto Repairs & More

When you are traveling on a road trip and your vehicle breaks down, you will be faced with a few options. In most situations you will have one of three choices: One is to have the vehicle towed, two, get your vehicle repaired or sell and scrap your vehicle. There is a lot to consider with each option. Citywide Towing Service will share more in detail about each of these options and how you can get help when you are broken down and out of town.

Have Car Towed Home

When traveling out of state and your vehicle breaks down you may wonder what to do. One option, which most people will take is to first call for help and get their vehicle towed to the closet town if you are on the road. If you are in town, most will begin looking for a car rental service and a long distance towing company to get their vehicle back home. Having a vehicle towed long distances can be pricey, but it is the best option for some. Many people would rather have their trusted mechanic look over the vehicle and repair it. If the repair will take a couple of days or more, they often prefer to be back home.

Towing Vehicle to a Mechanic or Auto Repair Shop

Depending where the break down occurs, many will call for a towing service and get their vehicle to a local mechanic shop to have the vehicle assessed. If repairs can be completed within a few hours, or a day or even two, often the vehicle owner will stay and get the vehicle repaired versus having it towed home and seeking a rental. If the repairs will take a couples or day or even a week, you can always go back to option one and have your vehicle towed back home. However, if repairs are minimal and can be done quickly, it may be better to have your vehicle repaired out of state or town rather than paying for a long distance towing service.

Junk & Sell My Car

If you break down and get your vehicle to a local mechanic just to hear that your vehicle is toast, that may make you feel rather bad and leave you feeling lost. Why tow a dead vehicle all the way back home, and what can you do with your vehicle if is beyond repair? Consider scrapping it. There are many places that will give money for junk cars when they break down. You can sell the vehicle’s usable parts or recycle the vehicle. This way you can get some money in your pocket for a car rental to get home. Scrapping your vehicle isn’t usually the first or even second option. However, if you find out your vehicle is now junk, why pay to have it towed back home?
