my car has broken down and aye need a tow. not with any breakdown services , how do aye get my car home?

Question

female needing help with car

Answer 1

call any wrecker service,and get it towed home,that's the only way you can get it home unless you have a friend that will pull it home for you,good luck with it.

Answer 2

If you are not with a breakdown company, you will need to call one anyway.

If you call RAC/AA or other they may allow you to join (at an increased premium for the 1st year or you may need to look in the yellow pages to find a local garage recovery service. Either way it will cost.

The only other way is to get a tow from a friend, and depending on whats wrong with your car this could be difficult, especially if you have never been towed before, or in fact if your car is safe to tow. Remember, if your engine is not working your brakes will be hard and ineffective, your steering may be heavy and very difficult, your lights / indicators etc will only work for a limited time (until your battery runs out)

Answer 3

Aye???? Assuming no towing service is available and/or you can't afford it. Call a friend with a tow rope and hopefully a truck. Attach the tow rope to your vehicle and the tow vehicle. Put your car into neutral, rest your foot on the brake and let the slack out of the tow rope.
Hopefully the person with the tow rope knows how to use one.
If not, you are going to be in for one heck of a ride!
You are going to have to "drive" the car while it is being towed so be very very very very careful! If you don't feel comfortable doing it this way, don't attempt it!

Hope this helps....

Answer 4

One word Of advice, If you get a friend to tow you, you need to be really careful. If you have power assisted brakes you will lose these after a couple of time usage. This will leave you to use you handbrake only. Not the safest way to be towed especially if you are not used to it.

Answer 5

i get my breakdown cover with my bamk account, ok i pay £12 a month but i get free recovery, and all the benefits, it is the Barclays additions account, ask someone who you know if they have that account as it is availible to any car as long as the account holder is driving.
or just get the phone book out and phone around for quotes, the longer you leave the car stranded the more chance you have of it being wrecked, or even recovered by the council, and impounded.

Answer 6

You either try and get it mended on the spot,Any idea whats wrong..Or your going to have to be towed home..Whats up you not got the towing fee?....Depends where your stuck in the country you might get some kind soul on here,prepared to just help you.

Answer 7

Sometimes you can just call the police and they can get ahold of a towing company for you, or if you have a phone book handy, you can just call a towing service.

Answer 8

I always make sure i'm with some type of breakdown cover. Maybe you will now in future, but its abit late now. Its like people always get a burglar alarm after they have been burgled. I would see if you have a friend/relative that could tow you back home.

Answer 9

well youve asked us the (audience)...But,its difficult to negotiate a mornings membership with the breakdown service companies...so you will have to (phone a friend) with a tow rope....dont leave it too long though...because theres a (50/50) chance your car may be vandalised or removed from where you left it....

Answer 10

If you are somewhere around here I will come get you. Otherwise you may want to call a tow truck. BTW I live in KC.
