Frequently Asked Questions
Breakdown towing is flatbed transport after a mechanical failure prevents safe driving — including engine, transmission or electrical issues, and vehicles that will not restart.
If the issue may be a dead battery, flat tire, empty fuel or lockout, roadside assistance may restore the vehicle. If those services cannot resolve the problem, request breakdown towing.
Yes. Provide the dealership or repair-shop address when requesting service and TowDaddy will transport the eligible vehicle to that approved destination.
No. Emergency dispatch is available for stranded vehicles, and scheduled towing is available when the vehicle is already in a safe location and the repair visit can be planned.
Non-rolling vehicles can often still be loaded with winch assistance, subject to damage, ground clearance and equipment capacity. Disclose this when requesting service.
