answers to frequently asked questions from a towing professional

Customers often ask questions about what to do when you are in an accident or have a breakdown emergency and we get questions about basic car maintenance. 
  1. Make sure your car is safe and can pass the Virginia State Inspection at all times.
  2. Keep your vehicle registration card, state inspection receipt, insurance card, and a list of emergency contacts stapled together in your glove box. If you are injured and cannot communicate with emergency responders, police will check the glove box for information so they can notify your family or friends.
  3. The best rule is to follow the maintenance schedule in your vehicle owner’s manual. Other services are rarely needed. Keep your vehicle owner’s manual in the glove box so you can refer to it for maintenance information.

Call the Police

Police should always be called so there is an official record of the accident. In some areas of the country, police will not respond to auto accidents. If an officer is sent, he or she will record the number of people involved in the incident and their identities so that others don’t later claim they were in the crash and injured. Exchanging names rather than calling police can result in another driver giving you false information. It is common for uninsured or unlicensed people to try to keep the police away. If another party is persistent about not calling police, there is probably a good reason why they do not want to talk to an officer and this should make it even more important for you to summon the police. Take pictures of the vehicles involved from all sides so there is documentation of the scene and the damage.
