Posted on: 27 April 2022
When you head out of your house to go to work and find out that your car isn't working, it can be really frustrating because you are going to miss at least some work while you deal with your car. Part of dealing with your car may be having it towed to a repair shop so that it can get worked on. If you are going to have your car towed, there are some things that you should do while you are waiting for the tow truck to get there.
Get Your Belongings Out
One of the things that you should do is take out all of your personal belongings. You don't want to need something and find out that it's in the car. Nor do you want to worry about something getting lost. When you are getting your belongings, make sure that you take out your registration and insurance information. You may need to have that paperwork while your car is gone. If your car is really dirty, you might want to clean it out at this point too.
Take Pictures
You should also take pictures of your car. You want to take pictures from every angle and inside and out. Taking pictures does more than just show off your pretty car, it is going to show what kind of shape your car was in before it got towed. Most likely nothing is going to happen to your car, but it's better to have the proof that some particular damage didn't exist when your car was towed and not need that proof than it will be to have damage and not be able to prove that the damage wasn't there first.
Make Sure an Adult Is Around
If you are able to get to work before your car gets towed, you should make sure that there is an adult present when the car is being towed. If the tow driver needs to have something signed, then having an adult around is going to be a good thing.
When your car stops working, you will probably need to have it towed. There are things that you can do to get your car ready to be towed. If you do it while you are waiting for the tow truck to get to your house, you won't have to worry about keeping the truck waiting.
