Breaking down on the side of the road is a situation that many people fear. Running out of gas, getting a flat tire, or just suffering from engine trouble all require the services of a Fargo tow truck to deliver a stranded vehicle to the garage of a mechanic. Most people know how to change a flat tire and put on a spare, but there are times when drivers find out that they have no spare and no way to get them self back on the road. Calling for a tow truck is the only way to make it home for someone that has a flat and no way of changing it.
In the colder weather of winter it is easy to get caught in a blizzard or to get stuck in a snow bank. Drivers that are trapped in their cars should call for a towing service and wait in their car for a truck to arrive. Icy road conditions cause the majority of accidents in winter, which is where the Fargo and Moorhead towing companies can help out the highway patrol officers that are responding to an accident. Even if a car is drivable after being in an accident, it might be towed to a local service station where it can be inspected before being allowed back onto the road. If cosmetic body damage is sustained, but the engine and drive train are sound, the damaged car will still need to be examined for leaking oil, transmission fluid, coolant and fuel before it can be considered safe to drive. By towing the damaged vehicle to a mechanic, a car's owner can be assured that their vehicle is safe to take back on the road.
In a serious collision the police will investigate the cause of a wreck and call out a Fargo tow truck to clean up the highway. As the driver is transported to the hospital their car is hauled away to a garage. Typically, it will remain at the garage until it can be inspected by an insurance adjuster. Even if the car is drivable it must be looked over before it can be released. Working closely with the police and highway patrol, the Moorhead and Fargo towing companies are able to clean up the broken lights and windshields after an accident and clear the scene once the officer in charge of the scene has made his or her assessment of what caused the collision. As the last people to leave the crash site, the tow truck driver is able to provide the services that help drivers off the road after being stranded from any number of causes.
