Tips When Calling a Tow Truck

Exact coordinates of your location and destination: To save time, describe your location as accurately as possible (use location sharing via Messenger or Viber). A precise address allows the operator to dispatch the closest available tow truck to you. Detailed description of the vehicle's condition: Inform the driver in advance about the specific damage to your vehicle. Is the steering wheel, gearbox, or are the wheels locked? In cases of a torn-off wheel or severe suspension damage, a specialized tow truck with a sliding/hydraulic platform is required. The need for a crane-manipulator: If the vehicle has run off into a ditch or ravine, is trapped in a tight underground parking lot, or its wheels cannot roll at all due to severe damage, a standard tow truck won't be able to lift it. In such cases, it is essential to request a manipulator (a tow truck equipped with a crane). Preparing documents for transport: According to safety and legal regulations, tow truck drivers do not have the right to move a vehicle without the owner's consent. Prepare the vehicle's registration certificate (tech passport) and your ID (or power of attorney) in advance. Specifics for special equipment and oversized cargo: If you need to transport construction machinery (such as a tractor, forklift, or generator), specify the exact weight and dimensions of the load in advance so that a heavy-duty platform of the appropriate tonnage and length is dispatched to the site. 💡 Fast roadside assistance 24/7: Find tow trucks of any capacity, crane-manipulators, and roadside technical assistance teams (tire changes, towing, battery jump-starts) across Georgia on the platform: services.ss.ge
