It’s never fun when your car breaks down and you need immediate assistance. It can be frustrating and scary, especially, if it hasn’t happened to you before and you don’t know what to do. Chilliwack Towing, offers Fraser Valley and Abbotsford towing services, and has 5 helpful tips to remember if you find yourself in a jam!
Get your car off the road.
When your car breaks down, the first thing you need to do is get your car off the road. Hopefully, you will still have some time and momentum to maneuver your car to the side of the road, when it starts to malfunction. When you get your vehicle to the side of the road, put it in park and engage the emergency brake. If you are struck on a busy road or highway and are unable to move your car to the side of the road, remain in your vehicle. You’ll want to stay protected from the oncoming traffic!
Put your hazard lights on.
It is important to alert other drivers to your situation. Especially if you can’t pull over to the side of the road. Other drivers will see that you’re stuck, and be able to safely avoid your vehicle.
Assess the situation.
If you are able to safely leave your vehicle, get out of the car and try and assess the situation. Is it a flat tire, have you run out of gas, or is there a mechanical problem? Remember that if you have limited mechanical expertise, tinkering around in the engine, probably won’t help much. But it can be helpful to have an idea of what went wrong.
