Your vehicle's make, model, and color:
This helps the tow truck driver identify your car quickly.
The condition of your vehicle:
Let them know if it's running or not, or if it's inoperable or stuck somewhere. If you’ve been in an accident, mention that too.
Type of service needed:
Do you need a standard tow or something specific like a flatbed tow, or are you stuck in a tricky spot like a ditch? Mention if you need any special equipment.
Payment details:
Have a general idea of how you're going to pay—whether through insurance, a credit card, or out of pocket.
Any specific instructions or concerns:
If your vehicle is in a difficult-to-reach spot or you're worried about additional hazards, mention that upfront.
With all this info, the tow company can dispatch the right truck to help you as quickly as possible.
