Emergency towing means moving a vehicle that cannot be driven — or should not be driven — away from where it has stopped. KLN Towing Service provides emergency towing for drivers in and around Lawrenceville, GA, 24 hours a day.
An unplanned breakdown is stressful, particularly when it happens somewhere unsafe or at an inconvenient hour. Call us and tell us what happened, and we will let you know how we can help.
When emergency towing may be necessary
A tow is generally the right call whenever driving the vehicle any further could put you at risk or cause further damage.
- The vehicle will not start or will not stay running
- The vehicle stopped running while you were driving
- A flat or damaged tire means the vehicle cannot be driven safely
- The vehicle is blocking traffic or is stopped somewhere unsafe
- You have been told the vehicle is not safe to drive
- The vehicle is disabled after a collision
Safety comes first
If anyone is injured, or if the vehicle poses an immediate hazard, call 911 before you call for a tow. Emergency responders take priority in any situation involving injuries or an active danger.
While you wait, turn on your hazard lights. If your vehicle is in a travel lane and it is safe to move it, get it onto the shoulder or off the roadway. If moving it is not possible, stay buckled inside the vehicle rather than standing next to it in traffic, unless remaining in the vehicle is itself unsafe.
What to have ready when you call
- Your exact location — address, cross street, highway exit or mile marker
- The year, make, model and color of your vehicle
- What happened and whether the vehicle rolls, steers and shifts into neutral
- Whether the vehicle is all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive
- Where you want the vehicle taken — a repair shop, your home or another address
- Whether the vehicle is in a travel lane, on a shoulder, or in a parking lot
- A phone number where we can reach you
What to expect
When you call, we will ask about your location, your vehicle and what happened, so we know what equipment the job calls for. We will also ask where you would like the vehicle taken. If you are not sure, it helps to have a destination in mind before the truck arrives, since that determines where the vehicle goes once it is loaded.
Remove any personal belongings you need from the vehicle before it is towed, including items in the trunk, and take your registration and insurance information with you.
