You’re driving. Then — bam!
Your car stops, your heart races, and you have no idea what’s wrong.
Don’t panic. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide from Tow Gawdess Automotive, Inc. to help you stay safe and take control of the situation.
1. Pull Over Safely
If the car still moves, guide it off the road — far from traffic.
Use your hazard lights and pull into a shoulder, parking lot, or quiet side street.
Tip: Turn your wheels away from traffic and set the parking brake.
2. Stay Inside (if it’s not safe)
If you’re on a busy highway, stay inside the car with your seatbelt on.
Getting out can be dangerous — especially at night or in bad weather.
3. Turn On Hazard Lights
This helps other drivers see you. It’s the first sign something’s wrong — and it can save lives.
4. Call for Help
Now’s the time to call a local towing service you trust.

5. Know What to Tell the Dispatcher
Make things easy by giving them:
- Your location (look for landmarks, signs, mile markers)
- What happened (flat tire, no start, car died)
- Your vehicle type (make, model, color)
6. Stay Calm Until Help Arrives
You’ve done your part. Now wait safely.
If it’s dark, lock your doors. If it’s hot, open a window. Stay alert.
🚨 BONUS: What NOT to Do
- Don’t accept rides from strangers
- Don’t try to “fix it” in traffic
- Don’t leave your car in gear or running
