What Type of Tow Truck Do I Need?

You probably have seen a number of tow trucks responding to road emergencies but you noticed they did not look the same with each other and yet they seemed to be doing the job well. Curious already?
 
Today's market is flooded with a lot of tow truck manufacturers but more often than not, they are producing the same types of tow trucks. Nowadays, you will commonly find four types of tow trucks and they actually vary in terms of purposes and benefits: flatbed, integrated tow truck, hook and chain, and wheel-lift tow truck.
 
Here at East Orange Tow Truck, any need for towing in East Orange no longer becomes an issue as we are equipped with flat bed and hook and chain tow trucks - such types are commonly used for light-duty and medium-duty towing. Hence, you can be sure that whatever type of vehicle you will want to be towed in the future, be it a motorcycle, a sedan or hatchback, an SUV, a van, or even a truck, you have a reputable tow truck and road assistance company to rely on and call for prompt and quality towing response.

Flatbed towing in East Orange is commonly used for small to medium vehicle towing especially for transporting purposes. They usually have a long empty bed with a flat top and can easily pull up an immobile vehicle without causing damage in case driving up its ramp seems impossible. Meanwhile, hook and chain tow trucks are commonly used to tow junk and wrecked automobiles.
 
The ultimate goal of East Orange Tow Truck is to not let every vehicle owner be left stuck, helpless, and unsafe on the road. That is why while we are still trying to expand with a vision of serving any heavy duty tow service for larger vehicles like buses, fire engines, trailers, and limousines in the near future, our team makes sure that we are still able to cater for common towing needs in and around East Orange, New Jersey with our reliable flat bed tow trucks and hook and chain tow trucks.

Auto Emergency Preparation Guide

12/14/2018

 
​Accidents or unfavorable circumstances happen no matter how hard you try to avoid them. Apparently, the same is true in owning or driving a vehicle. Emergencies are inevitable even if you have always made sure your car’s in a great condition before commencing any trip. Hence, it is always the wisest move to learn about emergency preparedness before the emergency takes place

Emergency Preparedness 101​

The worst scenario every car owner is likely to experience before tragic accidents is getting caught off guard as his car breaks down in the middle of a remote road and getting left stranded there for hours, or worse, days. You’d be lucky if you had someone with you to help figure out any solution but what if you were alone? Would you have anything you’d need?

It pays to know the basic auto emergency preparation guide to easily do away with such a draining, not to mention dangerous situation as mistakes like calling the wrong local tow truck company who is not credible enough to come to your rescue promptly can be most likely committed. And you should start it off by doing an inventory of the essential tools and supplies you must have in your car.

Auto Repair Tools and Supplies Checklist

  • Personal Emergency Essentials – These include cellphone and car charger (or power banks in case car chargers are also busted) so you can call for emergency response, and your first aid kit with bandages and painkillers in it just in case you will need them.
  • Safety Warning Items – These include reflective triangles, warning lights, flares, and safety vests.
  • Flashlight and lots of extra flashlight batteries– So the dark will not be a hindrance in case you need to carry out any repairs at night.

Survival Supplies Checklist

​Along with your auto repair tools and supplies, make sure you have prepared your emergency kit like your survival essentials especially if your trip will take hours long. These include food, water, and blankets. Should you plan to keep enough food supply, make sure to pick the non-perishable ones. Avoid bringing food that can easily spoil. Blankets, meanwhile, will help you keep warm if you will have to stay overnight in your car – something you will never experience if you have a reputable tow truck and road assistance company like East Orange Tow Truck to call and rely on at all times as that company will surely respond to your situation 24/7 no matter how remote and inaccessible your location is.

Supplies Fit For Your Route

​If you plan to drive through cold areas where snows will likely fill the roads, make sure you have these complementary supplies to help you survive long cold days and nights:
  • Hand Warmers/Mittens
  •   Reflective Emergency Blankets
  • Sleeipng Bags
  • Windshield Snow Brush

You may also want to consider securing any or all these:
  • Extra Clothes including socks, hats, jackets, layering items
  • Lighters or Fire Starters
  • Waterproof Matches should lighters and fire starters not work
  • Lightweight Plastic Rain Ponchos​​
​How helpful these supplies will be for your vehicle and your trip will likely depend on many factors. But rest assured, all of these will help alleviate your situation regardless of your geographic location. You have the option to either gather these supplies on your own as you may have a lot of these items stuck in your home, in which case you will just need to stuff all of the personal essentials into a spacious backpack, or you may easily opt for the more convenient way of buying decent auto emergency kits at your local auto parts store. These ready-to-use kits usually cost around $25 to $150.

A Reliable Workaround

​While it is never wrong to be adept in auto emergency preparation, being auto emergency prepared does not mean you will get through the situation smoothly and successfully.

Signs of a Dying Battery

10/26/2018

 
They say a heart to a man is what a battery is to a car and auto mechanics agree with it. Any type of vehicle primarily needs a battery to get going. The battery is actually what enables all of the electrical components to work as hell as help spark the plug to get the engine running. Thus, regular battery service is just as necessary as any car preventive maintenance as it also helps increase the probability of a safe and uninterrupted travel.  

Battery service is imperative. However, while it is so easy to cooperate and plan to bring a car to the nearest automotive shop for a battery service, the problem is that a lot of vehicle owners are not capable of detecting the condition of their cars' batteries. More often than not, they would only realize that there’s no juice until it is dead and that is unfortunately is too late.

The importance of a good conditioned car battery cannot be stressed enough. Not only can it preserve the life of a battery, it can also warn vehicle owners ahead of any battery failure.

Battery Life
A car battery's lifespan is usually defined by a number of factors but the one that affects it the most is the climate of its location. In East Orange and the rest of the towns in New Jersey, the average battery lifespan ranges from two to three years. However, this is not definite as the character of the driver matters almost as much.


Next to the location, the driver’s character actually affects the battery life of a vehicle just as immensely. Hence, if you happened to be replacing your car's battery quite often, the chances are you may have been doing one or more of these battery draining habits:
  • You carelessly leave your car lights on overnight.
  •  You take short drives too often.
  • You still plug power adapters or other battery-dependent accessories in even if you are not using them.
  • You let the vehicle go idle for weeks (leaving them off on for a long period.
  • You park your vehicle in an area where there is direct sunlight.

Sooner or later, you will need to have your car battery replaced. The possibility of you getting stuck in a parking lot because of a dead car battery is there so to lessen that possibility; it pays to know the warning signs that your car battery is nearing its end.

How will I know if it is the right time for a car battery replacement near me? Beware of these signs:
  • Your engine is cranking slowly.
  • Your headlights are producing a dimmed lighting.
  • Your horns barely or does not sound at all.
  • Your battery has leaks.
  • Your dashboard shows that "battery charge low" message.

Battery jumpstarting can save your day but doing it on your own is not a wise decision if it can only expose, rather than keep you away, from further dangers. If your battery has died but you do not have enough skills and background in battery handling, stop exposing yourself to threats and call East Orange Tow Truck right away for a jumpstart service that is carried out only by seasoned professionals. Here at East Orange Tow Truck, we provide only quality road assistance and local tow truck service in and around East Orange, New Jersey and these all are offered at a very reasonable price.
