I can give you multiple reasons why you need a roadside assistance service before police or paramedics.
After the accident usually the vehicles are damaged. 80% of the time the driver or passengers (or both) are trapped inside the vehicle. Neither police nor the paramedics have the formal training to cut through metal. To give any kind of medical or emotional assistance to the victims they must be taken out of the damaged vehicle first.
Not just for tragic, bigger accidents, you need roadside assistance even if you face any kind of minor car troubles on the road. Let’s just say your car broke down on a highway or you got a flat tire and don’t have a replacement, who would you call? 911? You know who the police would call then?... you guessed it, a towing service in Buffalo. But the whole process will take twice the time it would take you to directly call a towing service.
Get a roadside assistance policy with your vehicle insurance or keep contact details of a reliable towing service handy. Choose a roadside assistance service that is:
Experienced:
Means they’ve been working in industry for a while and are skilled enough to handle any kind of roadside trouble.Licensed:
The service you hire must carry a valid license to operate a roadside assistance company, issued by FMCSA.Registered:
The company should be registered with FMCSA as well as the local governing body.Services:
Must be your one stop for solution of all kinds of vehicle problems i.e.- Towing
- Tire changing
- Battery recharging
- Minor repairs
Packages:
If you don’t get roadside assistance plan in your insurance policy then the service that you intent to hire in case of a roadside trouble must offer economical, concise packages.Modern trucks:
It is of prime importance that a roadside assistance service must have modern and reliable towing trucks. In case of a roadside trouble, you’d be completely relying on this truck and it should not fail you.
