What light-duty towing covers
Light-duty towing is commonly used for passenger cars, many SUVs, minivans, and light pickups. It can help after a breakdown, no-start condition, collision, or when a vehicle needs transport to a repair shop, dealership, home, or another confirmed destination. Dispatch must evaluate the exact vehicle and situation before service is confirmed.
When San Antonio drivers call
- Mechanical breakdowns and no-start vehicles
- Vehicles that cannot be driven safely
- Transportation to a preferred repair facility
- Disabled vehicles at home, work, or in a parking lot
- Moves between dealerships, shops, homes, or other agreed destinations
What to tell dispatch
- Exact pickup point and requested destination
- Vehicle year, make, model, and drivetrain if known
- Whether the vehicle starts, rolls, steers, and brakes
- Whether keys are available
- Any collision damage, flat tire, locked wheel, or fluid leak
- Garage clearance, locked gates, tight turns, or other access limits
Why accurate vehicle details matter
The vehicle’s size, condition, drivetrain, wheel position, and surroundings affect how a tow should be approached. Describe damage and access restrictions before a truck is sent so dispatch can evaluate the job without relying on assumptions.
Stay safe while waiting
Move away from active traffic when possible and do not stand between vehicles. For injuries, fire, leaking fuel, or immediate danger, call 911 first.
