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.

What to Do If You Are In A Car Accident

  1. Stop in a safe place near the accident but not in traffic.
  2. Set out traffic flares if any vehicle cannot be removed and only if there are no flammable materials near the vehicles.
  3. Check for injuries. Do not move injured people unless necessary to protect them from further serious injury.
  4. Notify police. Give them the exact location, how many people are injured, and if traffic is blocked.
  5. Never Stand in or near traffic or between vehicles. If someone drives into the crash scene, you or others can be seriously injured or killed.
  6. If there is a car fire do not try to extinguish it. Unless you have received proper training, you can be harmed. You can be harmed by smoke or fumes, tires that overheat and explode, glass that blows out, shock-absorber bumpers, or other risks. Few car fires can be put out with a fire extinguisher and you can be seriously harmed trying to save a car that is probably already a total loss. Get everyone away from the burning vehicle and call the fire department.
