Towing firms provide towing services to vehicles that are damaged, down, or were involved in accidents. Towing companies typically have specialized trucks and equipment to securely and effectively transport vehicles from one location to another, such as from the side of the road to a repair shop or an impounding lot. Certain towing firms also provide other services like roadside assistance, tire replacement as well as jump-starts and locksmith services. Towing companies can work with insurance companies, law enforcement agencies and even individual car owners to offer prompt and reliable towing in times of need.
