When Do You Need Long Distance Towing?

A local tow may not be enough when your vehicle needs to travel to another city or a distant destination.

You may need long distance towing if:

  • Your vehicle broke down away from home
  • You want to take a disabled vehicle to your preferred repair shop
  • Your vehicle needs to be moved to another city
  • You purchased a vehicle in another location
  • You are relocating and need to move a vehicle
  • Your vehicle cannot safely be driven
  • You need to transport a non-running vehicle
  • Your vehicle was damaged in an accident
  • You need a vehicle moved across state lines
  • You want to avoid putting extra miles on a valuable vehicle

Long-distance towing can be useful when driving the vehicle yourself is unsafe, impractical, or not possible.

Why Can Long Distance Towing Be Better Than Driving?

Driving a vehicle over a long distance may not be a good option when the vehicle already has a problem.

The Vehicle May Have a Mechanical Problem

A car that is overheating, losing oil, having transmission problems, or showing other serious symptoms could become worse during a long trip.

You Could Break Down Again

A vehicle that has already experienced a major breakdown may not be reliable enough for a long drive.

Accident Damage Can Make Driving Unsafe

A damaged vehicle may have hidden problems with the steering, suspension, tires, brakes, or other systems.

Do not drive an accident-damaged vehicle simply because it still starts.

You May Add Unnecessary Mileage

If a vehicle needs to be moved for relocation, repair, purchase, or another reason, towing can prevent unnecessary miles from being added.

A Long Trip Can Increase Risk

A vehicle that is fine for a short trip may not be suitable for several hours of highway driving when it already has known problems.

If you are unsure whether your vehicle can safely make the trip, have the condition assessed before driving a long distance.

Situations We Handle With Long Distance Towing

Vehicle Breakdown Away From Home

A breakdown can leave you far from your normal repair shop.

If the vehicle cannot be repaired where it stopped, long-distance towing can provide a way to transport it to your preferred destination.

Vehicle Transport to Another City

Sometimes a vehicle simply needs to be moved from one city to another.

This may happen because of a move, vehicle purchase, repair, storage, or other personal need.

Interstate Towing

If a vehicle needs to cross state lines, provide the complete pickup and destination information before scheduling the tow.

Interstate towing can involve a longer route and additional planning compared with a local tow.

Accident-Damaged Vehicle

A vehicle involved in an accident may need to be transported to a repair facility or another location.

If there is visible damage, tell the towing provider what happened and whether the vehicle can roll and steer.

Non-Running Vehicle Transport

A vehicle that does not start may still be transportable.

However, the towing provider needs to know whether the vehicle can roll, steer, and accept normal loading.

01.

Contact Red Star Towing Service

Explain that you need long distance towing in Arlington, TX.

02.

Provide the Pickup Location

Please provide the exact location where the vehicle needs to be collected, including the street address, road or highway name, direction of travel, nearby landmark, parking lot or business name, and any apartment or property details.

03.

04.

Describe the Vehicle

Please provide your vehicle’s make, model, year, approximate size, and condition, including whether it starts or rolls, the tire and steering condition, any accident damage, and whether the keys are available.

05.

Discuss the Towing Plan

The pickup location, destination, vehicle condition, and distance should be considered before the trip begins.

If the vehicle has special problems, explain them before service.

What Should You Do Before a Long Distance Tow?

Preparing the vehicle can make the transportation process easier.

Remove Personal Items

Take valuable and personal belongings out of the vehicle before transportation.

Check:

  • Glove compartment
  • Center console
  • Trunk
  • Door pockets
  • Under the seats
  • Cargo area

Take Photos of the Vehicle

Before the vehicle is loaded, consider taking clear photos of the exterior and interior.

Photos can provide a useful record of the vehicle’s condition before transportation.

Tell the Towing Provider About Damage

Explain any:

  • Accident damage
  • Flat tires
  • Broken wheels
  • Steering problems
  • Suspension damage
  • Missing parts
  • Mechanical problems

Keep the Keys Available

If the vehicle needs to be started, shifted, unlocked, or moved during loading, keys may be useful.

Tell the towing provider if you do not have them.

Confirm Pickup and Destination

Double-check:

  • Pickup address
  • Destination address
  • Contact information
  • Property access
  • Gate instructions
  • Preferred delivery instructions

Small mistakes can create unnecessary delays during a long-distance vehicle move.
