In this blog entry, Towing Chicago’s vehicle recovery experts will detail the vital information to have on hand before receiving Chicago roadside assistance service.
Basic Information to Start
First off, make sure that your phone has enough battery to at least complete the call and conversation with the roadside assistance provider. Make sure to have the number of the roadside assistance provider – and double check that the issue that caused you to seek roadside assistance is, in fact, unable to be solved by you yourself easily. If possible, contact a trusted friend or family member to let them know your location and what your situation is.
Location
You will need to tell the roadside assistance provider your exact location – ideally with your GPS. If need be, ask the person on the phone to help identify the areas – who will then set a price and deploy assistance to your exact location.
Insurance Info
Make sure to have your insurance information on hand – especially if roadside assistance is covered by your plan. Sometimes this coverage varies under particular conditions. Try to have your insurance providers number on hand so that you can contact them with any questions.
Payment
Make sure to ask what payment method will be required, and that you have this payment method. Certain companies prefer to take certain credit card brands, or certain cash transfer methods.
The Location to Bring your Vehicle
Make sure to have a destination to which you want your vehicle transported already in mind before contacting the roadside assistance source, as the price of the service will be partly determined by the distance which the car needs to be transported.
