First Time Getting Your Car Towed? Essential Tips and What to Expect

Getting your car towed for the first time can be a confusing and stressful experience. Whether it’s due to a breakdown, accident, or parking violation, understanding what to expect can save you time, money, and anxiety. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the key things you need to know about towing—and how TowMan, your trusted roadside assistance partner, makes the process simple and stress-free.

🚚 Why Vehicles Get Towed in India

In India, towing is a fairly common occurrence due to various road, traffic, and vehicle-related issues. Here are the most frequent reasons Indian vehicle owners might face towing:

Accidents and Collisions

The combination of narrow roads, congested traffic, and unpredictable driving behavior often leads to both minor scrapes and major accidents. During peak hours or in densely populated urban areas, even a small collision can cause significant traffic disruptions.

When a vehicle involved in an accident becomes immobile or too damaged to drive, it poses a serious safety hazard—not just for the driver, but for other road users as well. In such cases, either local traffic police or professional roadside assistance services like TowMan are contacted to manage the situation efficiently.

TowMan’s trained technicians are equipped to safely lift and transport damaged vehicles from accident sites, ensuring Safe relocation of the vehicle to a workshop or service center

Improper Parking

In India’s crowded urban centers, finding legal parking space is often a challenge. As a result, many vehicle owners resort to parking in unauthorized areas—sometimes unknowingly. However, parking in restricted zones can lead to immediate municipal towing and fines.Local authorities monitor these zones closely, especially during peak hours or special events. If a vehicle is found violating the parking rules, it is towed without prior notice and moved to the nearest impound yard.

TowMan offers real-time support in such cases by helping customers locate their towed vehicle, understand the fine payment process, and even tow the vehicle home after release if needed.

Vehicle Breakdown on Busy Roads

In day-to-day driving, unexpected vehicle breakdowns are a common reality—especially for older or poorly maintained vehicles. Issues such as engine overheating, sudden engine failure, punctured or burst tires, clutch or brake malfunctions, or a dead battery can occur without warning.

In such situations, attempting to fix the issue on-site is often unsafe or impractical, especially without the right tools or expertise. That’s where a professional towing service like TowMan becomes essential.

Our team can:

  • Reach your location quickly, even in peak traffic

  • Assess whether a minor repair (like battery jump-start or tire change) is possible

  • Safely tow your vehicle to the nearest garage or service center if a fix isn’t possible on-site

With 24/7 availability and trained technicians, TowMan ensures you’re never left stranded—no matter the situation or time of day.

Flooding and Waterlogging

When a vehicle attempts to pass through flooded roads, water can enter critical components such as the engine, exhaust system, or electrical circuits, causing the vehicle to stall or shut down completely. In severe cases, attempting to restart a water-damaged engine can lead to hydrostatic lock, resulting in costly repairs or permanent damage.

In such situations, professional towing becomes the safest and most reliable option. TowMan’s trained operators are equipped to:

  • Navigate flooded areas safely with specialized tow trucks

  • Recover stalled vehicles without causing additional damage

  • Transport the vehicle to a dry, secure location or directly to a service center for inspection and repair
