How To Vet A Towing Company

If you are deciding which towing company you should call for the next time you need one, you are probably wondering how you should decide which one you should go with.  We understand that it may seem like a difficult decision to make at first.  Here are some thoughts on how you can make the decision.

Reviews Online

Just like with any other type of small business, you should be able to find reviews from previous customers.  You should look for sites like Yelp and Angie’s List as a reference to find reviews.  I wouldn’t necessarily trust any sort of reviews that I found on the towing company’s website.  Those are definitely going to be cherry-picked to make the company seem as good as possible.  No one is going to put up bad reviews on their own website.  They are only going to put up the best possible reviews.  Reviews are a form of social proof.  If they are truly independent, they are generally the best way to know what you are getting yourself into with the company you are taking a look at.

Website

If you a company has a very poor and unprofessional website, that’s a decent indication of what you can expect from them if you were to work with them.  I would take a look at their website to see how much time and effort they have put into it.  If it looks great, you can reasonably expect that they care a lot and will probably do a good job for you.

Phone Calls

Towing is not an industry that is well known for having companies actually answer the phone.  As a result, you should try giving the companies a call and testing to see whether they actually answer.  If they do, it’s a good sign of how they will be to work with in the future.

These are the best ways we know of how to vet different towing companies.  Let us know in the comments if you think we missed anything.
