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.

Dead Battery

If your car cuts off while driving due to an electrical system failure, your problem is probably not the battery. In most driving, the alternator provides full power to run the vehicle although it may borrow power from the battery while stopped in traffic, particularly if the air conditioner or other high power use items are on. The car should be taken to a place where the battery and charging system can be tested. Most quality auto parts stores can do a computer diagnostic that will tell you if a low battery is still good and merely needs charging or if it needs to be replaced. If you go to a good auto repair shop, the battery will be tested and charged if needed before the charging system is tested. Unless a good, fully charged battery is in the vehicle, an adequate charging system test cannot be done.
