FAQs

Bud's Wrecker Service

  • Do I need to provide ID or ownership proof?

    Identification and proof of ownership or authorization may be requested by towing operators, particularly when towing from private property or releasing a vehicle. It is advisable to have your vehicle registration and personal identification readily available.
  • Does roadside assistance cover towing?

    Towing services are often included in many roadside assistance programs, typically up to a specified mileage limit. It is recommended to review your specific policy for details on covered distances, eligible situations, and preferred service providers.
  • What is the difference between flatbed and wheel-lift towing?

    Flatbed towing involves loading the entire vehicle onto a flat platform, making it ideal for luxury, low-clearance, or all-wheel-drive vehicles. Wheel-lift towing, on the other hand, lifts either the front or rear wheels off the ground and is commonly used for shorter distances and quicker service.

    All-wheel-drive vehicles can be towed, but they typically require either flatbed towing or specialized equipment to prevent potential damage to the drivetrain.
  • What should I do while I wait for the tow truck?

    While waiting for the tow truck, ensure your safety by moving to a secure location. Activate your vehicle's hazard lights, secure the vehicle if you need to leave it, collect essential documents and personal items, and keep relevant phone numbers and policy information accessible.
