Experiencing a vehicle breakdown can be stressful, especially on a busy Northern Virginia roadway. Knowing what to do can keep you safe and help you get assistance faster.
Stay Safe First
If your vehicle shows signs of trouble, safely pull over to the right shoulder, away from traffic. Turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers. If possible, steer toward an exit or a well-lit area.
Call for Professional Help
Once you are in a safe location, call Tow Pro at (703) 883-7221. Provide your exact location, vehicle make and model, and a description of the problem. This helps the dispatcher send the right equipment.
Stay in Your Vehicle
In most situations, it is safest to remain inside your vehicle with your seatbelt fastened while waiting for help. Only exit if you are certain it is safe and you are far from traffic.
