6 Ways You Can Be Prepared - so you may not even need a tow truck in Jacksonville Florida

We Are There When You Need Us...
6 Ways you can be prepared - so you may not even need a tow truck in Jacksonville Florida.
There are many ways you lower your chances of needing to hire a tow truck in Jacksonville FL, even though tow truck Jacksonville FL is something you will need when your vehicle breaks down at one point or another. Vehicle breakdown is frustrating and the cost of towing is going up but if you like to save money these tips can help you avoid the expense of hiring one or lower your chances of needing one.
 
If you don’t want to give yourself unnecessary worry about the expenses associated with towing, here are some tips and tricks for you.
 
1. Know How to Change a Tire
 
You should learn how to change a tire manually and stop depending on machines and technology, in case of any emergency. When you know how to change a tire, you will not need the service of a towing company when you have accidental flat tire. Changing a tire will only take you 10 to 15 minutes, which is the same time it will take a tow truck to reach you.
 
2.  Make Sure You Keep Gas in Your Car Always

We all know that this is the right thing to do. Unfortunately, many of us don’t do this probably because we are too busy, always in a hurry to catch up with one appointment or another or even forget, which make us run out of gas in the middle of the road.
 
To keep gas in your car, make sure you:
  •  have a gas schedule and keep to it, even if you still have gas in your tank. 
  • set a point on your gas gauge and you must not go below that gauge before buying gas.
3. Have a Spare Tire

Having a spare tire is another way to avoid paying for services, after learning how to change a tire. Your spare tire is not designed to go long distance. After putting the spare tire on your car, you should head to the nearest tire shop where you can get it repaired or replaced if it’s beyond repair. Never travel long distance with a spare tire installed, they are for temporary purposes only.


4. Check the Essentials When You Stop for Gas

Make sure you check the essentials before you leave home or when you stop to buy gas at the gas station, instead of looking at Facebook. While you are waiting for the gas to pump, check your engine oil (you may not need this if you are in a brand-new car), check your tires, check for any debris, spot check the hoses, pop the hood and check the cleanliness of the engine compartment to make sure there is no fluid leaks.
 
5. Keep Essential Tools in Your Car

You must keep some simple but essential tools in your car in case of emergency, if you are serious about avoiding paying for a tow. This is not to say that you need to keep a tool box, but the following tools are suggested:
  • Small Hammer
  • Multi-purpose wrench
  • Jack Stand (s)
  • Jack
  • Lug Wrench
  • Jumper Cables 
  • Screw Driver (Phillips and Flat Tip) 
You can get yourself out of many jams you may find yourself, if you have these essential tools in your car.


6. Service Your Vehicle Regularly
Service your car regularly or get a tune up from time to time. This can be from multi-point inspection and oil change to changing every fluid in your car and changing timing chains, hoses and many other parts, depending on the mileage and age of your car. Cars from about 2008 and newer just need their oil changed after every 5-6k miles, or as the car demands. However, stick with the every 3k mile rule for cars older than that. You are not sure? Check the maintenance section of the owner’s manual of your vehicle. If you service your vehicle regularly, keep essential tools in your car, carry out regular checking of essentials, have a spare tire, learn how to change a tire and keep gas in your cars gas tank you should be good.

A tow truck is generally used to tow vehicles by stranded motorists at a fee. However, if you need a tow truck in Jacksonville FL call Us!
