  • What should I do immediately after my vehicle breaks down on the road?

    First, ensure your safety—move your vehicle to the shoulder or safest nearby location, turn on hazard lights, and stay inside if you’re on a busy roadway. Then, contact a reliable towing company like Dependable Towing & Recovery. Provide your exact location, vehicle type, and issue (e.g., flat tire, engine failure). Many breakdowns become riskier because drivers try fixing issues themselves on unsafe roads. Our team is trained for roadside assistance, and we’ll dispatch quickly with the proper equipment and safety procedures to get you out of harm’s way.

  • Is towing safe for all types of vehicles, including AWD, luxury, or low-clearance models?

    Yes—but only when done correctly with the right equipment. At Dependable Towing & Recovery, we use flatbed and wheel-lift tow trucks suited to a wide range of vehicles, including all-wheel drive (AWD), luxury, or low-profile cars. Improper towing can damage the drivetrain, bumper, or undercarriage. That’s why our team assesses the safest method before hooking up your vehicle. We also train our staff specifically in towing Teslas, sports cars, and off-road vehicles without risking costly damage.

  • Why does towing sometimes take longer than expected during peak hours or bad weather?

    Towing and recovery operate under real-world road conditions—weather, accidents, and traffic can affect ETA. During storms or peak hours, high demand can lead to delays. However, at Dependable, we provide real-time ETA updates and honest wait-time estimates, not generic promises. We also maintain a full fleet and prioritize safety and fairness in dispatching. Rest assured, we’re actively working to reach you as soon as possible—not just queuing you.

  • Do I need to be with the vehicle for it to be towed?

    Not necessarily. If you’ve broken down and arranged towing through us, you can coordinate pickup even if you’re not present—provided we have access and proper documentation. For impounds or private property towing, the requirements vary. At Dependable, we can securely tow to a repair shop or your residence and notify you upon completion. We aim to reduce your stress and accommodate situations where you may not be on-site.

  • What if my vehicle is stuck in a tight space, garage, or behind another car?

    Our team is trained to handle complex extractions from tight or obstructed spaces. Whether it’s a parking garage, narrow alley, or car sandwich in a crowded lot, we use low-clearance equipment, skates, and wheel lifts to remove your vehicle without damage. These scenarios require finesse—not just brute force. Dependable Towing & Recovery thrives on tough calls that other companies often refuse or delay.

  • How does Dependable Towing ensure no damage during the towing process?

    Damage prevention starts with proper technique and the right equipment. Our drivers perform a pre-tow inspection, use soft straps or wheel lifts (not hooks on frames), and load vehicles in a controlled, balanced manner. We document everything and use advanced flatbeds for low-clearance cars. Our team receives ongoing training and is fully insured, ensuring you're covered in the rare event of accidental damage.
