When a tow is the right call
A tow is usually needed when a problem cannot be fixed where the vehicle sits: a mechanical failure, damage after a collision, a flat with no usable spare, or a vehicle that will not start after a jump.
How a tow request works on S.O.S.
The driver selects Towing in the S.O.S. app, shares the vehicle’s location and adds details about the vehicle and where it is parked. Those details help the SUPERHERO arrive with the right equipment. The final price is confirmed before the job is charged.
Tow operators who want to take S.O.S. towing missions can apply through the provider application.
Safety on the shoulder
Georgia law requires drivers approaching a stopped towing or recovery vehicle showing flashing lights to move over a lane when it is safe, or slow down and be prepared to stop. See Safety standards.
