Car trouble strikes, and you call a tow truck. But where are your keys? In most situations, yes, a tow truck driver will need your car keys to tow your vehicle safely and efficiently.
Here’s why your keys are important for towing:
Securing the vehicle: The tow truck driver needs to secure your car to the tow truck for safe transportation. This often involves using the parking brake and locking the steering wheel.
Operating the steering (if necessary): In some cases, the tow truck driver might need to use your car’s steering wheel to maneuver it onto the tow truck bed, especially for vehicles with automatic transmissions.
If you can’t locate your keys: Contact your roadside assistance provider (if applicable). They might have solutions for unlocking your car.
Explore spare key options. Do you have a spare key at home or with a trusted friend or family member?
