The tow is done. What happens next?
Arrange delivery, share the symptoms, and keep towing and repair approvals clear.
Confirm where the car is going
Check the receiving shop’s address, hours, and drop-off instructions before arranging transport. Ask how keys should be handed over and whether the shop can accept the vehicle at the expected time.
Keep the details together
Save the towing request number, receipt, pickup and delivery details, and any photos you took safely. Tell the repair team what happened before the breakdown and what assistance was attempted. Avoid guessing at a diagnosis.
Repair approval is a separate decision
A towing authorization does not approve diagnostics or repairs. Ask the repair facility about its inspection process, estimate, authorization requirements, schedule, and charges. For insurance claims, confirm requirements directly with the insurer.
