It may cost you a great deal if you use a friend to help you tow your vehicle yourself. Many people feel quite strongly that it is far better to use a professional towing company rather than attempting to tow your own vehicle.

Car Breakdown & flat tire
It happens to all of us. You drive along and all of a sudden you hear it. The knock or click that signals trouble can cause a shiver to run down your spine. Even though we don’t like the thought of our vehicle breaking down, we have to accept the fact that it could happen. The best way to be prepared in situations where you might need gas/jump starts/flat tire changed is to know repair shops of emergency towing services located in the area you are traveling in Allentown.
 
Running out of gas or having a flat tire can happen anywhere anytime, especially when we are too busy with our daily lives to make sure we properly maintain our vehicles. A dead battery can signal the need for a new one or something wrong with the electrical system of a vehicle. While the dead battery is a quick fix, a problem with the electrical system can be an expensive one. Proper maintenance of a vehicle can prevent the need for an Emergency Towing Service, but when the need does arise, it’s good to know there reputable companies out there who offer 24 hours a day/7 days a week service.
 
Car and Truck Breakdowns should be planned for. When creating an emergency kit for your car, one of the first things that should be put into it (and into your phone or GPS) is the location of area repair shops and tow companies. By investigating these places beforehand you will have a good idea of who you want to call if you ever have trouble and are stranded along the highway. Check references and find out which ones have the quickest response times. Are they bonded? Do they have a friendly and courteous customer service? These are all questions you want the answers to before you have an emergency. Being stranded is frustrating enough, but dealing with a gruff tow truck driver is not what you need in the middle of an emergency.

​Create a relationship with these companies first. It will relieve the stress and frustration knowing that if you are stranded, you have an emergency towing service who is reliable and ready to help you when you need them the most.

Jump Start Battery Services

5/20/2020

0 Comments

 
​                            Jump start battery services
 
      Do you live in colder places and your vehicle battery gets down? Or don’t you use your vehicle often making your battery not run? Well, our roadside service providers have made a solution that reaches you and solves the problem.
 
     Roadside service providers will reach the customer with one call and jump start their vehicle battery thus making sure the vehicle starts and runs perfectly.
 
How a battery is Jump started:
 
      Whenever a vehicle’s battery goes down, which can happen when either the battery is completely discharged or dead, a temporary connection is made between battery of other vehicle or external power source. This recharges the battery enough to start the engine. Once the vehicle gets going, it can recharge its battery making the battery functional again.
 
     The jumper cables are used while doing a jump start. These cables are made such that there won't be a surge in power supply. However, proper care must be taken while plugging and unplugging the battery as improper use can damage batteries of both vehicles and prove as a safety hazard for the person touching the battery cables.
 
     This can happen for any automobile, including trucks and bikes. Although most bikes have an inbuilt choke button for such battery down, in colder regions where snow gets accumulated damaging the battery, this service can prove to be very handy.

Six Useful Towing Tips for Your First Caravan Adventure After Quarantine

4/13/2020

0 Comments

Hello Peeps! Are you excited about your first family vacation with a caravan trailer this summer? Of course you are! After being quarantined in the house for greater than a month I'm sure a roadside adventure is just what your heart desires.

ere are a few useful towing tips that will help you ease your towing anxiety so that you can enjoy your caravan adventures to the fullest. 

  1. Make Sure You Have the Right Equipment: Before you head off, make sure your caravan trailer is in good condition. Therefore, before embarking on your journey, make sure the trailer is perfectly attached to the tow ball. At the same time, make sure you achieve a standard coupler height, which should be approximately 17 inches. Last but not least, find out if the electrical socket and cable are in tip-top shape.


  2. Get Your Trailer Inspected: Caravan trailers that break down midway can be a terrifying experience; therefore, before hitting the road, make sure your trailer is safe and ready to cover miles of rugged and uneven roads. It is advisable to get every part  (wheels, brakes, doors, vents, wiring, wheel bearings, axles, etc.) of your caravan checked to make sure it is road-ready.


  3. Avoid Carrying Too Many Stuff: Instead of overloading your caravan, it is advisable to buy the stuff you need once you reach your destination. Overloading your caravan trailer can get you penalized during roadside inspections conducted by the police for ensuring caravan safety. Therefore, make sure you load your caravan trailer according to your vehicle’s towing capacity.


  4. Prevent Trailer Sway: Trailer sway can be a dangerous experience, and may also lead to fatal accidents. Therefore, you need to take all possible measures to avert trailer sway. You can prevent trailer sway by driving slowly and installing a brake controller, a weight-distribution hitch, and a traction control system. At the same time, you should avoid overloading your caravan trailer and driving in strong winds and rain.


  5. Take a Towing Training Course: Towing a caravan trailer can be easy only if you are aware of the right equipment and trailer towing rules. Thus, it would be prudent to take up towing classes that train you about safe towing techniques, along with reversing and braking techniques. Such training courses also enlighten you about different towing rules followed in different regions across the country. 
 
  1. Seeking Assistance from Towing Service Providers: In case your vehicle and caravan trailer break down out of nowhere, you should call up the nearest professional towing service providers to seek immediate and reliable roadside assistance. Professional towing service providers are available round the clock and have the right towing equipment to handle your vehicle and trailer. Thus, you can rest assured that they will tow your vehicle professionally without damaging it.
 
 
Parting Thoughts
 
Towing a caravan trailer can be a wondrous experience; however, if you are new to towing, it is advisable to prepare yourself as well as your caravan trailer well in advance for safe towing.  
We hope the six tips shared by us will help you tow with confidence. 
Have a wonderful trip!

Make Your Tow Truck Ready for Spring

3/23/2020

Bethlehem Towing Services

For our friends who are still working amidst the Covid-19 outbreak, we thank you! Please read below for tips to keep you safe. 
 
Finally, the long-awaited spring season is around the corner. As the weather begins to get warmer, it’s time you prepare your tow truck for adventurous outdoor trips. In this post, we will share a few easy tips to make your vehicle ready for towing a trailer this spring. So here we go: 

1.    Wash Your Tow Truck: You can take your truck to a truck wash center or use a high-quality liquid cleaner for washing the body of your vehicle. If you notice stubborn stains left by snow, ice, or grit on the body of your vehicle, use a powerful cleaning product to efface the marks. Once you are done washing your truck, apply quality wax on it to make it shine like new.

2.    Check the Tires: Start with cleaning the tires and wheels of your tow truck. It is advisable to use a tire and wheel cleaner and apply it all over the tire. Use a tire scrubbing brush with strong bristles to scrub the tires thoroughly. Once you are done cleaning the tires, apply the cleaning product to the wheels of your truck. Let the cleaning solution sit for a minute or two, and then clean the dirt using a paintbrush. Now use a hose to wash the wheels and tires and use a microfiber detailing towel for drying both. At the same time, make sure you replace the worn-out tires of your vehicle to avoid injuries and road fatalities.

3.    Check the Battery: Freezing temperature can affect the battery life of your tow truck. Therefore, spring is the right time to test your vehicle's battery. Find out if the battery terminals are free from corrosion and dirt to ensure optimal driving.

4.    Check the Brakes: Since breaks are the most essential safety component of your vehicle, get them thoroughly inspected by a mechanic to ensure they are working well. If you hear weird sounds when using your brakes, get them replaced immediately.

5.    Replace Your Truck's Wiper Blades: Your windshield wipers are mostly used whenever it snows or rains or for removing grime and bugs. The rubber on your truck's wiper blades often becomes hard during winters and may also tear while dealing with freezing temperatures. Thus, consider replacing your vehicle's wiper blades as soon as spring arrives. At the same time, clean the dirt from your front and rear windows thoroughly using a good window cleaning solution to extend the life of your wiper blades.

6.    Monitor Fluids: Keep tabs on the quality of your truck's fluid, such as windshield wiper fluid, brake fluid, suspension fluid, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, etc. to ensure safe operation. Make sure you replace contaminated fluids so that they do not end up corroding the internal components of your vehicle.
​
7.    Get Your Tow Truck Serviced: Last but not least, spring is also the prime time to get your truck serviced by an authorized service center for maintenance and repairs. 
Getting your truck in good shape in spring keeps your vehicle running at its best and helps avoid costly repairs in the future. Thus, make sure you adhere to the spring-cleaning tips shared by us to make your truck road-ready for spring.
