Before recovery

Will my car be towed with its wheels on the road?
That depends on the vehicle and its condition. Some cars require a flatbed or other equipment; do not assume a rope tow or wheel lift is suitable.
What information helps arrange car towing?
Give the make, model, transmission, key availability, wheel and steering condition, both postcodes and a contact at the destination.
