Signs you're in emergency towing territory
- The engine cranks but won't catch, or won't crank at all
- The temperature gauge is climbing while traffic is stopped
- A warning light came on and the car is losing power
- You hit something and the car is no longer safe to drive
- You are parked legally but the car will not move, and the lot closes soon
- Your insurer or motor club told you the tow is on you
