There are many reasons a person may need to have their vehicle towed from one location to another. This can be due to damage that was received when the vehicle was in an accident. The car may have enough damage that it is not able to be driven to a garage to be repaired. Another reason that you may need to use a tow truck is when you break down on the side of the road. It never happens when it is convenient and is usually when you are driving down the freeway. A tow truck can come to pick up the car to take it to a mechanic for you. Another reason is if you purchase a car from a private party. The person usually has the car either registered with their own information or it is sitting without registration. Either way when you leave the purchase you should be taking the vehicle with you. The problem is that if you want to follow the law you need to get the DMV to register the car before you take it out on the street. This is not always a possibility and that is why it is important to call a tow truck to get the vehicle onto your own property. Whatever the reason is that you need a tow truck you want to make sure that you are prepared to have the vehicle towed.

Citywide Towing Service Outlines How to Prepare Your Car to Be Towed

Release The Emergency Brake & Remove Car Keys: Once you know that your vehicle is going to be towed by a tow truck you want to make sure that you are ready. One of the things that you can do is to make sure that you release the emergency brake as well as remove the keys from the car. You need to stay near the car so that when they tow truck arrives they are able to use the keys to prepare the car any further. If the car is going to be towed it should be able to roll freely from the ground and the emergency brake will prevent that.
Remove Your Personal Belongings from Car Being Towed: The next step that you want to take while you are waiting for a tow truck is to get what you want out of the vehicle. You may need to have access to your paperwork for the vehicle if you are making a claim on insurance. You also want to look through the car or truck and take out the items that you know you will need on a regular basis. This might include the remote for your garage, keys to your house, books in the trunk or any other personal items that you brought with you.
Make Sure Car Windows are Closed: Sometimes when you break down on the side of the road you roll the windows down while you are waiting. This is fine but when the tow truck shows up you want to make sure that you roll them back up. This will stop debris from blowing in the car and keep it secured when the car is dropped at the garage or mechanic shop.
