If your vehicle feels unsafe, unusual or unreliable, it is usually better to stop and call a tow truck rather than risk driving it further. What looks like a small issue can quickly become more serious if the car is driven while damaged or mechanically unsafe.
You should call a tow truck if your car has been involved in an accident, will not start, has overheated, has brake or steering problems, is leaking fluid, has serious tyre or wheel damage, or is showing warning lights that do not go away. You should also avoid driving if the vehicle is making loud grinding, knocking or clunking noises.
Driving a damaged vehicle can put you, your passengers and other road users at risk. It may also cause further mechanical damage, especially if there are engine, cooling, transmission or braking issues.
If your vehicle is stuck on the roadside, in a car park, at home, at work or at an accident scene, professional towing can help move it safely to a mechanic, repairer, storage location or another suitable destination.
