When your vehicle breaks down in Beaverton, Tigard, or a nearby community, knowing what to do while waiting for a tow truck can keep you and your vehicle safe. Here is what to do.
A vehicle breakdown can happen without warning. Your battery may die in a parking lot, your car may overheat on the highway, you may get a flat tire, or your vehicle may simply stop running. When that happens, many drivers immediately search for "tow truck near me" or "towing near me." If you're stranded in Beaverton, Tigard, or a nearby community, knowing what to do while waiting for towing or roadside assistance can help keep you and your vehicle safe.
Move Your Vehicle to a Safe Location If Possible
Move Your Vehicle to a Safe Location If Possible. If your vehicle is still drivable, try to move it away from active traffic and into a safe location such as a parking lot, wide shoulder, or side street. Turn on your hazard lights so other drivers can see you. If your vehicle cannot be moved safely, avoid taking unnecessary risks. Stay aware of surrounding traffic and contact professional towing assistance. Breakdowns can happen on busy local routes such as Highway 217, Pacific Highway/Highway 99W, Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway, Canyon Road, TV Highway, Hall Boulevard, Scholls Ferry Road, Greenburg Road, Murray Boulevard, and Farmington Road.
Do You Need Roadside Assistance or a Tow?
Do You Need Roadside Assistance or a Tow? Not every breakdown requires towing. Sometimes roadside assistance may be enough to get you moving again. Mian Towing LLC provides jump starts for weak or dead batteries, vehicle lockout assistance, flat tire changes if you have a usable spare, fuel delivery, and winch-outs for vehicles stuck in mud, gravel, a ditch, or another difficult location. If your vehicle has mechanical damage, accident damage, overheating problems, or another issue that makes driving unsafe, towing may be the better option.
Tell the Towing Company Your Exact Location
Tell the Towing Company Your Exact Location. When calling a tow truck, provide as much location information as possible. Useful information includes your street or highway, nearest intersection, nearby business or landmark, direction of travel, and whether you're in a parking lot, driveway, shoulder, or traffic lane. For example, instead of simply saying you're in Tigard, saying that you're near Highway 99W and Hall Boulevard gives the towing operator much more useful information. The same applies in Beaverton — knowing whether you're near Highway 217, Canyon Road, Farmington Road, Murray Boulevard, or Scholls Ferry Road can help identify your location.
Tell Us What Type of Vehicle You Have
Tell Us What Type of Vehicle You Have. Different vehicles can require different towing equipment. When calling, let us know whether you have a passenger car, SUV, crossover, pickup truck, AWD or 4WD vehicle, commercial van, work truck, medium-duty vehicle, RV, or motorhome. Also explain what happened to the vehicle. If it was involved in an accident, has damaged wheels, won't shift into neutral, is stuck off the roadway, or has another unusual condition, mention that when you call.
