Integrated (Repo) Lift

Roll Back Flat Bed

Winch Service - Have you inadvertently slid into a ditch and can't get out?
Most people have felt the helplessness of sliding on snow or wet, muddy roads and ending up in a ditch off the road that their vehicle cannot get out of. Even heavy duty 4-wheel drives sometimes are rendered ineffective by spring rains or winter snows. A high quality winching service is just a call away.
How to Avoid the "towing near me" Phone Search
The simplest way to avoid this is just "pay attention".
Use the following tips to help reduce the chance of having to google for "towing near me".
1. Tire issues may cause more automobile accidents in the US than any other single auto malady. Avoid flat tires by not driving near and around construction sites or on roads that are not maintained properly. If your newer car shows a low tire warning pull over and check it out immediately. A visual inspection should indicate if the tire is going low or the sensor battery in the valve stem is finally run out. Either way a visual check should be done immediately and if no tires look low continue on to your destination and attend to the matter as soon as possible. If there is visual evidence of a tire being low, change the tire immediately or call a tow service for help. Tire rotation is recommended every second oil change.
2. Oil & Air Filter Care. Use your head. If you see an oil spot under your car in the garage, then you should probably check your oil regularly and keep it at the proper levels. Regular oil changes are a must for maintaining proper engine health. Synthetic oils, although a little more expensive, provide extra protection for you engine from long term wear. When you change oil at the very least check the air filter if its dirty clean it or replace it.
3. Avoid engine overheating. While the hood is up during an oil change check the radiator and clean off the splattered bugs and other debris that may restrict air flow through the radiator.
4. Avoid Lock Outs. Make sure you have your keys in hand when you leave the car and lock the car by using you remote key lock while you are walking away from you car.
5. When should I replace the battery? Car batteries are generally designed to last 3-4 years. If you notice that the car is starting sluggishly go ahead and drive it and check the battery gauge/ammeter while driving. If it the battery gauge is showing a charge above 13 volts or the ammeter is showing a + charge while driving then your alternator is working properly and a serviceable battery should charge up and the next time you start the car it should not be sluggish starting. If it is stop into a car care business. They can test the health of the battery so that if it is going to let you down soon you'll be able to have it replaced before that can happen.
6. Don't overlook the other car care points. Maintenance items such as draining and cleaning the cooling system, squeeze engine hoses every now and then make sure they are supple, squealing brakes need your attention. Failed brakes will surely cause a vehicle mishap. Check the battery terminals for corrosion and use anti corrosion paste. If you engine starts to run rough then take it to a repair shop and let them run a diagnostic test to determine the problem. Better safe than sorry.

Be Aware of Tow Truck Scams
Like any business there are reputable companies and some that are not so reputable. We discovered a few towing scams that disreputable companies have been putting on unsuspecting people.
The MacDonalds Towing Scam
In areas where parking is at a premium some business owners contract with towing companies to tow vehicles who park in their parking lots and do not do business with them but walk off the property to go to other stores.
The MacDonalds Towing Scam
In areas where parking is at a premium some business owners contract with towing companies to tow vehicles who park in their parking lots and do not do business with them but walk off the property to go to other stores.
Most of these areas have signs that specifically say "Warning: Private Parking Lot - Parking permitted for McDonald's customers only. Illegally parked vehicles are subject to towing if you leave the premises . . .
What they don't tell you is that the tow truck is parked just down the street waiting for a phone call from a spotter inside the McDonalds to tell them which car's owners have walked off the property to shop elsewhere. It takes only a few minutes and the truck swoops in hooks up to the car and tows off to their lot to be held hostage for a $400 towing bill.

The moral of this story is be aware of these signs and don't think that leaving the premises for a few minutes is OK. It is also wise that you be aware of your legal rights with tow companies. You need to know what they are legally allowed to do with your car and what they are not legally allowed to do.
There are a few ways to tell if the tow company you are dealing with is a quality company. Do they provide regular training to their drivers? Do they have adequate liability insurance? What is their maintenance program for their vehicles? Are their drivers trained properly on all the equipment they utilize? See specific practices of a quality tow company here.
We are still servicing all our customers even during the Coronavirus emergency. We are practicing social distancing, wearing masks and making sure all proper cleaning and disinfecting procedures are followed completely.
Towing Services on the Water
Nobody wants their boat to break down, but the truth of the matter is, if you spend enough time on the water, sooner or later you're going to need a tow. And when that day comes, we sure hope the following information will be helpful. There are certain things that everybody needs to know before they're taken undertow. First off, safety issues. You want to make sure that everybody on board is wearing a life jacket and the jackets remain on.
Now, we would recommend that if you have inflatables, which are great, we love them, but it is even better to put all the real deal like an offshore vest. As long as you're not in an area with heavy boat traffic or what are that's too deep or it's unsafe to anchor, go ahead and drop the anchor. We also want to drop it if you're drifting in a dangerous direction. Then turn on your VHF radio and turn it to Channel 16.
And if you don't already have it turned on. Also turn on your G.P.S. chart plotter. From dusk to dawn, make sure your lights are on, whether that's your running lights. If you're not accurate or your anchor lights, if you are anchored and if you have anybody aboard, assign them to be a lookout. Have them keep an eye out if you see any other birds approaching. Don't be shy about flashing a spotlight at them or maybe giving a blast to the air.
Let them know you're there. The VHF radio is actually the best way to get in touch with your tower, because when you contact them, they will already have your phone number and information about your boat, the exact location and all the details that they need to know. Then you want to provide the captain with all kinds of details, like the destination you're heading for, what your problem is, how many people are on board? Things like that.
Now, if you're not getting cell service, which is going to happen sometimes on the water, you're going to hail the Boat US Channel 16 when your VHF. Be prepared for him to ask you to switch an answer on a different channel. And you're going to need to be looking at your G.P.S.. You need to know your latitude and longitude. Those are the numbers they want to come get you as quickly as possible.
After you get in touch just stay calm, relax and don't get out of the boat. If the captain of the tow boat doesn't arrive on time, just call for an update. Follow the towboat U.S. captain's instructions. They will figure out the best way to get a line to you. And if you have to wait a bit for the time to be on ground and say, just be patient, be careful not to touch anything unless the captain asks you to.
Usually you won't have to worry about fenders or lines. The top U.S. captain has all that preset and they will suggest the best method of how to connect to tow line work with the captain following his or her lead. They are professionals. Once you're connected. Just sit back in the cockpit. Stay calm. Don't steer unless the captain of the towboat asks you to. Don't touch the tone and wait for the captain to unhook it. And, of course, don't take your VHF off the station that he or she has specified.
