Why Being Safe Is Better Than Being Sorry
While there are times that you can safely drive to the closest repair shop, there are others when a tow is your only option. To ensure that you make the right decision, keep an eye open for the following situations:
Transmission Is Hesitating
Whining when transitioning between gears may be a sign of low fluid or a damaged filter, but could also indicate impending failure of your transmission. To prevent exacerbating the issue, cease driving and call a tow.
Steady Warning Lights
Designed to provide a window of opportunity, blinking or intermittent dash lights often indicate an issue before it causes irreparable damage. Unless you can safely address the issue (such as with refilling fluid), call a tow to avoid the risk of making things worse.
Brakes Have Failed
Arguably one of the most frightening of roadside ordeals, brake failure puts you and everyone else on the road in perilous danger. No matter the distance to your closest repair shop, call a tow if you experience even a slight decrease in brake control.
