The Dangers of DIY Towing: Why Professional Towing is the Better Choice

Home > The Dangers of DIY Towing: Why Professional Towing is the Better Choice

BLOG

Let’s face it: breaking down on the side of the road isn’t fun. Your heart pounds, your mind races, and you might be tempted to try and fix it yourself or give a buddy a call for a helping hand. While DIY towing might seem like a quick fix, it’s a risky gamble that could end up costing you more in the long run.

Trying to tow your car yourself can lead to a world of trouble. Here are some of the risks:

  • Legal issues: Vehicle transport without the proper equipment or license can land you in hot water.
  • Injury to yourself or others: Towing a car requires strength, skill, and the right equipment. Without proper training, you risk injuring yourself or others. 
  • Damage to your car: Improper emergency towing can cause serious damage to your vehicle’s transmission, engine, and other parts – leading to expensive repairs or even possible replacements.
