There are several situations where a person might want to get their car towed. The most obvious and common reason is that the car isn’t running.
Cars stop running for a multitude of things. Some of these things can be easily fixed if you decided to get a roadside package with towing. Other items can only be fixed by a mechanic with a full garage and the appropriate tools.
You might also want to get your car towed if it’s a new purchase. It isn’t legal to drive until it has been insured and registered at your local DMV. Towing the car to your place of residence is a smarter choice than risking a drive.
