What to Do If Your Car Breaks Down and Needs Towing

Immediate Steps to Take When Your Car Breaks Down

Experiencing a car breakdown can be stressful, especially on busy highways like the Mumbai–Pune Expressway or Yamuna Expressway. Here’s what you should do:

• Move to Safety: If possible, steer your vehicle to the side of the road to avoid blocking traffic.
• Turn on Hazard Lights: Alert other drivers by switching on your hazard lights.
• Exit the Vehicle Safely: If it's safe, exit the vehicle from the side away from traffic.

Contact a Reliable Towing Service

Once you're safe, it’s crucial to contact a reliable towing service. RoadServe offers a trustworthy option with its 24/7 availability and quick response times. Use the RoadServe app to book a towing service efficiently.

Flatbed vs Hook Towing: What’s the Difference?

Choosing the right towing method is essential:

• Flatbed Towing: Ideal for luxury or severely damaged vehicles. Your car is transported on a platform, minimizing further damage.
• Hook and Chain Towing: Suitable for short distances. The front or rear of the car is lifted off the ground.

Estimated Time and Pricing Factors

When booking a towing service, consider these factors:

• ETA Expectations: RoadServe aims to reach you within an hour, depending on traffic and location.
