In a survey conducted by PNAS, 38% of businesses viewed it as unlikely or only somewhat likely that they would be open as of the end of 2020. And this unwanted situation is the result of the economic strain caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

But one business that has been operational since day 1 is the towing service business.

America never stops. And to keep that spirit alive, providers of towing service in Montgomeryville and throughout the country work 24*7 and sort every problem that halts the progress of a driver.

Here’s How Towing Services Tackle COVID-19

Tow, Tow, Tow!

Cleaning the right way

1. Cleaned hands before washing the car (interior + exterior): It is recommended by the CDC to use a hand sanitizer with a minimum of 60% alcohol. So, all towing services use quality hand sanitizers that adhere to these guidelines.

2. Use soap with water to safely clean the vehicle. Also disinfectant wipes to sanitize the surfaces.

3. Priority surfaces included: Gear shift, dashboard, steering wheel, armrests, cup holders, touch screens, start button, seats, sun visor, door handles, display screens, air conditioner vents, and center consoles.

4. Rewashing hands after cleaning: This is a standard practice that you should adhere to. It will help you avoid any possible chance of transferring or inhibiting the virus.

Evading Pit Stops

Pit stops carry a high chance of getting the drivers infected with the virus. So towing services make sure to only stop at the final destination.

They fill up the fuel tank and carry all the essential items with them. So there is no need of having a pit stop and coming in contact with someone from outside.

Following Social Distancing

Social distancing was a must for all the people involved in a towing service company. On top of the organizational concern, they also expect this cooperation from their customers.

Customers understand the threat of the virus and hence maintain proper distance. A minimum of 6 feet distance is maintained.

Here’s a guide to sanitize and securely drive your car amid COVID-19. This will help you clean the vehicle with the right approach and also provides tips for your safety.

Result!

Even though sanitizer & masks were in short supply during the initial days, the dedication of towing service providers and their employees made it possible for all the healthcare workers to report to hospitals on time in case of mishaps, thus keeping the country safe. Companies like A&G Customs have been at the forefront of this challenge resolution process and continue to help with safety measures in place.

The 5 types of towing services that remained unaffected were:

1. Flatbed Towing

2. Wheel Lift Towing

3. Medium Duty Towing

4. Heavy Duty Towing

5. Motorcycle Towing

Tip: Tips to consider before hiring a towing service

And even with all the challenges at the table, towing services have managed to:

1. Guarantee Site Safety

2. Recover Vehicles from Incident Scene

3. Keep Vehicles & Possessions Safe
