A towing company is a business that provides services to move vehicles that are disabled, illegally parked, or involved in accidents. These companies use specialized trucks, often called tow trucks, to safely transport vehicles to a designated location, such as a repair shop or an impound lot. In addition to towing, many companies offer roadside assistance, which can include services like jump-starting batteries, changing flat tires, and providing fuel delivery. Towing companies play a crucial role in maintaining road safety and ensuring that vehicles are removed promptly from hazardous situations.
