Roadside assistance is a service that helps motorists when they are stranded on the side of the road. Many towing services offer this service, including towing, fuel delivery, battery jump-starts, etc. Check with your towing company to see which services they provide.
Aside from experience, you also want towing businesses with a good reputation. They should have happy customers who are willing to sing their praises. Read online reviews to get an idea of what others think about the company. If they have a website, check to see testimonials from satisfied and dissatisfied customers. Also, ask your friends and family if they know of any reputable tow truck companies in the area.
