For many issues, your car remains driveable, and you can get it to us for repair. For others, your car may not work, be suitable for the road, or driving will risk damaging it. If you're in the latter position, don't fret. Van Meter Auto Repair can arrange a tow for your vehicle.
If your car is overheating, experiencing low oil pressure, won't start, the transmission is experiencing vehicle issues or engine trouble, perhaps your car has severe suspension or steering issues, or any other condition exists that prohibits your ability to get your vehicle to us, we've got your back. If you give us a call and a location, we'll have your car at the shop and ready for repair in no time. We'd like to remind you that having your car or truck towed to safety is a more manageable action plan and will save you from further damaging your vehicle.
Towing isn't only for cars and trucks that won't start or move, you should also have your car or truck towed if it is experiencing cooling or oil pressure issues or the transmission is behaving incorrectly, as this can cause significant damage and cost you thousands. These problems almost always worsen rapidly and do constant damage while the engine or car is running. Don't take a chance on destroying your vehicle's engine or transmission by trying to drive it - let us move it for you. The same goes for steering and suspension issues; if the problem is bad enough, driving your car could cause something to break. This instantly jeopardizes your safety in your vehicle and anyone else involved on the road.
We have been called to tow cars and trucks due to bad batteries, the vehicle has a flat tire, or the driver ran out of fuel on the roadway. Also, there are multiple calls yearly for our "lockout" service, where drivers have locked themselves out of their vehicles.
If you have AAA or your insurance policy has a towing supplement, you can submit the towing invoice to them for reimbursement! Some customers were unaware of that so it would be a great addition to our page. ALWAYS check with your insurance company to see if you are covered OR ask them about adding it to your coverage.
We have been called out to tow vehicles as a direct result of a vehicular accident and are also available for them. An accident could be with a stationary item, another car, or hitting an animal on the road. You could be hauling something, and the load shift causing a hazard and resulting in a crash. Call us if you drive off the road into a ditch, have a fender bender, or suffer a collision (which we hope is not severe). We will get you help immediately on the scene to help you get your vehicle out of harm's way, and if you need a mechanic, we can help you with that, too.
A tow truck is available for all needs. give us a call for service, or if you plan to have a vehicle transported via a schedule, let us know, and we can set that up for you at
Van Meter Auto Repair. Don't risk more damage or stress over moving your car. It's in good hands with us.
