At Morton’s Towing & Recovery, we’ve heard just about every misconception there is about towing services. While towing is often associated with stressful situations, it doesn’t have to be confusing or intimidating. We’re here to clear up some of the most common myths and help you better understand how professional towing really works.
Myth #1: Towing Companies Only Show Up After Accidents
It’s true that we often respond to accidents, but that’s far from the only reason you might need a tow. From flat tires and dead batteries to breakdowns and vehicle transport, towing companies handle a wide range of situations. At Morton’s, we provide 24/7 roadside assistance and towing services for everything from motorcycles to heavy-duty trucks.
Myth #2: All Towing Services Are the Same
Not all towing companies are created equal. There’s a big difference between a one-truck operation and a full-service company with trained professionals, a modern fleet, and the right equipment for every job. We pride ourselves on being reliable, fast, and prepared—whether you need a jump start, winch-out, or heavy-duty recovery.
Myth #3: Tow Trucks Will Damage Your Car
This is one of the biggest fears we hear, and it’s understandable. But rest assured, when done properly by experienced professionals, towing is completely safe for your vehicle. At Morton’s Towing & Recovery, our operators are highly trained and use industry-approved methods and equipment to protect your vehicle every step of the way.
Myth #4: It Takes Forever for a Tow Truck to Arrive
Response time matters, especially when you’re stuck on the side of the road. While some companies may leave you waiting, our dispatch team works around the clock to send help as quickly as possible. With a large service area and a well-coordinated fleet, we aim to get you back on the road – or to safety – as fast as we can.
Myth #5: Towing Is Always Expensive
Many people are surprised to learn that towing services can be quite affordable—especially when you consider the safety, convenience, and peace of mind they provide. We’re upfront with our pricing and work with various insurance and roadside assistance programs to help manage costs.
