Locked out? It happens to careful people constantly, usually with the car running or the trunk full. Professional lockout tools open most vehicles without leaving a mark. Call before anyone at the scene suggests a coat hanger or a broken window.

Summer heat damages batteries even when they still seem fine. The damage tends to show up later, usually on the first genuinely cold morning. If yours has been slow to crank at all, get it tested before it strands you somewhere inconvenient.

Happy Labor Day. Today is a thank you to everyone working through the holiday, including the drivers, the haulers, and every crew that stays on call so other people can take the day off. If your day takes a turn out on the road, we are here. Otherwise, enjoy it and take it easy out there.

Myth Buster Friday: any tow truck can handle any vehicle. Not true, and getting it wrong causes damage. All-wheel drive vehicles generally should not be towed with wheels on the ground, and low or lowered cars can get torn up loading onto the wrong equipment. Tell whoever answers the phone what you drive. The right truck matters more than the closest one.

Heat, long miles, and a loaded car are hard on tires. Check pressure while they are still cold and look for cracks, bulges, or uneven wear before you leave town. A blowout at highway speed is a lot to handle even for a good driver.

Trivia Wednesday: if you break down on a busy highway, where is the safest place to wait? A) Standing behind your vehicle so you are visible B) Inside the vehicle with your seat belt on, or well off the road behind a barrier C) Sitting on the guardrail near the traffic lane. Guess below.

Labor Day weekend puts a lot of cars on the road at once, and heavy traffic makes every breakdown more dangerous than it would be on a quiet Tuesday. If you end up stopped where you should not be, get clear of the travel lanes, hazards on, and call. We run holidays.

Before a long holiday drive, check tire pressure, oil, and every light the night before. Most of the calls we run over a holiday weekend trace back to something that was already showing signs before the trip started.

Myth Buster Friday: you can drive a short distance on a completely flat tire. Even a mile will destroy the tire, and it often takes the wheel with it. Brake lines, sensors, and suspension components sit right there too. If you are flat, get safely off the road and stop. A tire is cheap compared to what driving on it costs.
