When Do You Need a Towing Service?

Not every vehicle problem requires towing. Some problems can be fixed at the roadside with a jump start, tire change, fuel delivery, or lockout service.

However, towing is often the safer choice when the vehicle cannot be driven without causing more damage or creating a safety risk.

You may need towing if:

  • Your vehicle will not start after a roadside attempt
  • Your car has been damaged in an accident
  • You have a flat tire and no usable spare
  • Your vehicle has a serious mechanical problem
  • The engine is overheating
  • Your vehicle has stopped in an unsafe location
  • The vehicle has transmission problems
  • Your car has been damaged by a collision
  • You need to move a disabled vehicle to a repair shop
  • You need a vehicle transported to another location

If you are unsure whether you need roadside assistance or a tow, tell us what happened. We can help determine which type of service makes sense for your situation.

What Can Happen If You Keep Driving a Damaged Vehicle?

Trying to drive a vehicle that is not operating correctly can sometimes make the problem worse.

For example, continuing to drive with an overheating engine can lead to serious engine damage. Driving on a completely flat tire can damage the tire and wheel. After an accident, hidden damage may affect steering, suspension, brakes, or other important components.

There is also a safety concern.

A vehicle that pulls to one side, has damaged wheels, leaks fluids, produces smoke, or has a serious warning light should not simply be driven because it still starts.

When a vehicle cannot be driven safely, a tow truck in Arlington, TX can be a safer way to get it to a repair facility or another location.

If Your Vehicle Breaks Down

If possible:

  1. Move your vehicle away from traffic.
  2. Turn on your hazard lights.
  3. Set the parking brake.
  4. Stay in a safe location.
  5. Do not stand in traffic or behind your vehicle.
  6. Tell the towing company your exact location.
  7. Explain what happened before the tow truck arrives.

If you are in immediate danger, contact emergency services first.

Towing Situations We Handle

Breakdown Towing

A mechanical breakdown can leave you stuck on the side of the road or in a parking lot.

If your vehicle cannot safely be driven, towing can take it to a repair shop or another destination.

Common breakdown situations include:

  • Engine problems
  • Transmission problems
  • Electrical problems
  • Overheating
  • Starting problems
  • Serious warning lights
  • Vehicle stalling
  • Loss of power

If the problem may be resolved at the roadside, we can also help determine whether roadside assistance is appropriate.

Emergency Towing

Some breakdowns happen when you are far from home, on a busy road, or in an unsafe location.

Emergency towing in Arlington, TX can help when your vehicle cannot safely continue driving.

If you are stopped on a highway or in a dangerous location, prioritize your personal safety. Turn on your hazard lights and move to a safe place if you can do so without putting yourself at risk.

Accident Towing

After a collision, a vehicle may look driveable even when important components are damaged.

Damage to the steering, suspension, wheels, brakes, frame, or other systems may not always be obvious.

If your vehicle was involved in a significant accident, avoid driving it until you know it is safe.

We can help transport an accident-damaged vehicle when towing is required.

Flat Tire Towing

A flat tire does not always require a tow.

If you have a usable spare, a tire change may solve the problem.

But if the tire is severely damaged, there is no spare, the wheel is damaged, or the vehicle cannot safely be driven, towing may be necessary.

Vehicle Won't Start

A vehicle that will not start may have a dead battery, starter problem, electrical fault, fuel issue, or another mechanical problem.

A jump start may solve a simple battery problem.

If the vehicle still will not start or has another mechanical issue, towing it to a repair facility may be the safest option.

Our process

How Our Towing Process Works

Getting a tow should be simple. When you contact Red Star Towing Service, we focus on understanding your situation before sending the appropriate service.

01.

Tell Us About the Problem

Explain what happened to your vehicle. Let us know if it broke down, was in an accident, will not start, has a flat tire, is stuck, has mechanical issues, or needs transport to a repair shop.

02.

Provide Your Location

Give us your current vehicle location. On a road or highway, share the road name, direction, nearest exit, intersection, or landmark. At a business or property, provide the address and any helpful details.

03.

Tell Us About Your Vehicle

Let us know your vehicle’s make, model, approximate size, condition, drive type, and whether it can roll and steer. Mention any collision damage or movement limitations before the tow begins.

04.

We Determine the Right Towing Solution

Different situations require different towing approaches. A disabled vehicle may be handled differently from one with accident damage, locked wheels, or limited access. We choose the right equipment and method.

05.

Your Vehicle Is Transported

Once your vehicle is prepared for towing, we transport it to your requested destination, such as a repair shop, residence, dealership, or another suitable location.

What Should You Do Before the Tow Truck Arrives?

A few simple steps can make the towing process safer and easier.

Remove Personal Items

Take important personal belongings out of the vehicle when possible.

Secure the Vehicle

Turn off the engine, set the parking brake when appropriate, and keep the keys available for the towing process.

Tell Us About Damage

If your vehicle has accident damage, a flat tire, broken wheel, steering problem, or another issue that affects movement, tell us.

Take Photos

If your vehicle has been involved in an accident, taking photos of the vehicle and surrounding conditions can be useful for your records.

Stay Safe

Do not stand in a traffic lane while waiting for a tow truck. If you are on a busy road, stay in a safe location whenever possible.

Why Choose Red Star Towing Service?

When your vehicle is disabled, you need more than someone who simply arrives with a truck. You need a towing company that understands the situation and handles your vehicle carefully.

Local Arlington Service

Red Star Towing Service serves Arlington and surrounding DFW communities. Our local service area allows us to assist drivers throughout Arlington and nearby communities in the region.

Towing and Roadside Assistance

Some vehicle problems can be fixed without towing.

Our services include towing as well as roadside solutions such as jump starts, tire assistance, fuel delivery, and lockout help. This means we can help determine whether your vehicle actually needs a tow.

Careful Vehicle Handling

A disabled vehicle may already have mechanical or accident damage. Proper preparation and loading are important to reduce unnecessary risk during transportation.

Clear Communication

We ask about your vehicle and situation so we can determine the appropriate service. Clear information helps avoid confusion when the tow truck arrives.

Help for Different Breakdown Situations

Vehicle problems are not all the same. A dead battery is different from an accident-damaged vehicle, and a vehicle that cannot roll requires different handling from one that can be driven onto a tow truck.
We consider the condition of the vehicle when determining the appropriate towing solution.

How Much Does Towing Cost in Arlington, TX?

There is no single price that applies to every tow.

The cost can depend on several factors, including:

  • Type of vehicle
  • Type of towing service
  • Distance traveled
  • Vehicle condition
  • Location
  • Required equipment
  • Accident or recovery conditions
  • Destination

For example, a short tow for a normally disabled car may require a different level of service than a damaged vehicle that needs special handling.
