When Would I Need a Towing Service?

Towing services are essential for a variety of unexpected situations. If your car breaks down on the road, pull over safely, turn on your hazard lights, and remain in your vehicle while calling for assistance. Common reasons you might need a tow include:

• Engine overheating

• Car accidents or fender benders

• Running out of gas in a remote area

• Flat tires or blowouts

• The vehicle won’t start or has a battery failure

At Rister's Automotive & Transmissions, we offer both emergency towing and local vehicle recovery services. We’ll make sure your vehicle gets to our shop—or your preferred location—quickly and safely.

Towing vs. Roadside Assistance: What's the Difference?

While often used together, towing and roadside assistance are different services. Here’s a breakdown:

• Roadside Assistance Services:
  Includes jumpstarts, fuel delivery, flat tire changes, lockout services, and winch-outs. These are ideal for quick fixes that don’t require major repairs.

• Towing Services:
  When your car isn’t drivable or is unsafe to move, our heavy-duty tow trucks can safely haul your vehicle to Rister's Automotive & Transmissions or another location of your choice.

We recommend calling us anytime you're unsure about moving your vehicle yourself; our experienced team can advise you and dispatch the right service.
