What to Do When Your Car Breaks Down

1. Move to a safe place if you can. If the vehicle is driveable, steer to the verge, a lay-by or the nearest parking area. On busy roads, prioritise getting clear of traffic over moving far - even a few metres onto the hard shoulder improves safety.
2. Turn on hazard lights and use warning devices. Put hazard lights on immediately. If you have a high-visibility vest and a warning triangle, place the triangle at a safe distance behind the vehicle (observe road rules and local guidance). Don’t stand between your vehicle and moving traffic.
3. Stay with the vehicle when safe. Remaining near your vehicle (but well clear of the carriageway) is usually safer than walking far from the scene. If you must leave because of immediate danger, move to a safe location and call for help.
4. Keep passengers - especially children or vulnerable adults safe and calm. Lock the doors if you feel unsafe and keep everyone inside unless fumes, fire risk or other danger requires evacuation.
5. Assess without attempting complex repairs. Simple checks such as confirming there’s fuel, or gently checking a tyre, are fine - but avoid attempting repairs that expose you to traffic or require heavy tools. Modern vehicles are complex; a well-intentioned fix can cause more damage.
   
   

Contacting a Professional Towing Service

• Call Benny’s for a clear, calm handover. Provide your location (road name, nearest mile/km marker, or a landmark), vehicle make and model, and a brief description of the issue. If you’re unsure of your exact position, give the nearest postcode and a directional note (e.g., “northbound near the service station”).
• Follow the dispatcher’s advice. Our dispatcher will estimate arrival time, advise on immediate safety measures, and confirm whether a flatbed or heavy-duty rig is required. If possible, send a photo of your location or vehicle to help our team prepare.
• Stay informed while you wait. Benny’s will contact you with updates. If you need to move the vehicle for safety before we arrive, let the dispatcher know what you’ve done so we can adapt our recovery plan.

Common Mistakes to Avoid While Waiting for a Tow Truck

Even after calling for help, how you handle those next few minutes can make a big difference to your safety and to how smoothly the recovery goes. While Benny’s Towing Service always aims to reach you as quickly as possible, staying alert and avoiding these common mistakes will keep you secure and help us do our job more efficiently.

Standing Too Close to Traffic

Many drivers underestimate how dangerous it can be to linger on the edge of a busy road. Passing vehicles create suction and turbulence that can easily pull you off balance. Always step well away from the carriageway and stand behind a barrier if one is available.

Attempting Repairs on the Spot

It’s tempting to lift the bonnet or change a tyre yourself, but roadside repairs are risky. One slip or moment of distraction can lead to an accident. If you’ve already called Benny’s, let our trained team handle it - we carry the right tools, lighting and protective equipment to make safe work of any recovery.

Leaving the Vehicle Unsecured

If you must step away from your car, remove the key, lock the doors and keep valuables out of sight. Even in quieter areas, opportunistic theft can happen within minutes. Benny’s team will contact you upon arrival, so you don’t need to leave the vehicle visible or unattended for long.

Forgetting Clear Communication

Keep your phone charged and within reach. When we’re en route, our dispatcher may call to confirm your location or traffic conditions. A quick, accurate update helps us navigate delays and get to you sooner.

Why Choosing a Professional Towing Service Matters

Towing isn’t just about pulling a vehicle from point A to point B - it’s about doing so safely, efficiently and without causing further damage. Here’s why relying on an experienced, licensed operator like Benny’s Towing Service matters more than many realise.

Protecting Your Vehicle and Your Safety

Untrained or uninsured operators can make mistakes that lead to further mechanical issues or even personal injury. At Benny’s, we use manufacturer-approved tow points, proper tie-downs and load balancing to ensure your car or truck remains stable throughout transport. This professional approach prevents chassis stress, paint scratches and other avoidable damage.

Skilled Handling and Modern Equipment

From flatbeds with hydraulic lifts to wheel-lift rigs designed for tight spaces, our fleet suits every scenario. Each vehicle is regularly serviced and equipped with the latest safety gear. Our operators undergo continuous training on recovery procedures for both traditional and electric vehicles. It’s this combination of skill and technology that allows us to complete jobs swiftly without compromising safety.

Fully Licenced and Insured for Peace of Mind

When you call Benny’s, you’re covered. Our comprehensive insurance protects your vehicle while in transit, and our certifications meet or exceed regional towing regulations. You can rest easy knowing that every recovery is handled by professionals who prioritise your safety and your vehicle’s condition.

Heavy-Duty Truck Towing — Expertise You Can Trust

Not all towing jobs are created equal. Heavy-duty truck towing demands specific equipment, technical knowledge and precision and that’s where Benny’s truly excels.

Purpose-Built Fleet for Commercial and Industrial Vehicles

We operate powerful heavy-duty tow trucks capable of recovering lorries, buses, trailers and machinery. Each unit is fitted with reinforced winches, air-brake systems and stabilising controls, allowing safe movement of large vehicles even in challenging environments.

Trained Operators for Complex Recoveries

Our heavy-duty operators are trained in load calculations, recovery angles and weight distribution, ensuring stability during every lift and transport. Whether a truck has jack-knifed on the motorway or stalled on a construction site, Benny’s provides a safe, structured recovery process.

Minimising Downtime for Businesses

For commercial fleets, every minute counts. Benny’s offers rapid dispatch, direct communication and optional follow-up transport to workshops or depots. Our goal is to get your business vehicles back on the road with minimal disruption.

Flatbed vs. Wheel-Lift Towing — Which Option Is Right for You?

Not every towing situation is the same, and at Benny’s Towing Service, we select the method that best protects your vehicle. Two of the most common techniques we use are flatbed towing and wheel-lift towing, each suited to different conditions and vehicle types.

Flatbed Towing for Complete Vehicle Protection

Flatbed towing involves loading the entire vehicle onto a platform, keeping all four wheels off the ground. This method is ideal for:

• High-value or low-clearance vehicles, such as sports cars and EVs
• Long-distance transport
• Vehicles with transmission or suspension issues

Because the vehicle is fully elevated, there’s no wear on tyres or drivetrain components, and the risk of road debris damage is minimised. At Benny’s, every flatbed truck is fitted with secure tie-down systems and smooth hydraulic ramps to ensure safe loading and unloading, even in tight spaces.

Wheel-Lift Towing for Fast and Efficient Recovery

Wheel-lift towing uses a metal yoke that lifts either the front or rear wheels off the ground, allowing quick recovery of vehicles that can still roll on two wheels. It’s perfect for:

• Short-distance tows
• Cars parked in restricted or narrow areas
• Vehicles needing removal from private property

Our operators assess each case before selecting the method, prioritising your vehicle’s safety and the quickest, most cost-effective solution. With Benny’s, you never get a one-size-fits-all approach - every tow is planned around your specific situation.

Local Knowledge and Community Support

Benny’s Towing isn’t just another towing company - we’re part of the community we serve. Our understanding of local roads, weather patterns and high-traffic zones allows us to respond faster and operate more safely than out-of-area services.

Quick Response through Local Expertise

We know which routes flow best during peak times and where bottlenecks form after major events or construction. This means we can avoid delays and reach stranded drivers sooner. Our close ties with local authorities and service providers also help coordinate accident recovery efficiently.

Supporting the Community Beyond the Road

Beyond towing, Benny’s contributes to local road safety initiatives, provides recovery assistance during severe weather events and supports charitable causes in the area. We take pride in being a dependable presence not only on the roads but also within the community we call home.

The Value of Familiar Faces

When you call Benny’s, you’re dealing with a local team- not a remote call centre. That familiarity means better communication, accountability and genuine care for every customer we assist.

24/7 Roadside Assistance — Always Ready to Help

Emergencies rarely happen at convenient times. That’s why Benny’s Towing Service operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, ensuring you’re never left waiting, no matter the hour.

Comprehensive On-the-Spot Support

Our roadside assistance goes beyond towing. We offer:

• Jump-starts for flat batteries
• Tyre changes and inflation
• Lockout assistance
• Minor fuel delivery

We aim to resolve simple issues on-site whenever possible to save you the cost and time of a tow.

Prepared for Any Situation

Every Benny’s vehicle carries safety cones, lighting, and reflective gear, allowing our operators to work safely even at night or in poor weather. Our commitment to reliability means you can call us with confidence - whether it’s a quiet residential lane or a busy motorway, we’re equipped to handle it all.

Real People, Real Help — Anytime

No automated systems, no waiting on hold for hours. When you contact Benny’s, a local dispatcher picks up your call, confirms your details, and gets a crew moving right away. That personal, dependable service is what sets us apart.
