- Desert and off-road recovery
- Accident or collision vehicle removal
- Basement and tight-access towing

When Should You Use a Tow Truck in Dubai?
Many drivers wait too long to call for a tow truck, hoping the issue will fix itself. But delaying can lead to greater damage or safety risks. Here’s when to call a professional tow truck service in Dubai:
1. Engine Failure or Overheating
If your engine stops or begins to overheat while driving, pull over immediately and turn off the engine. Continuing to drive can severely damage the motor.
2. Accidents or Collisions
After a collision — even a minor one — your car may not be safe to drive. It’s best to have it towed to a service center for a full inspection.
3. Car Won’t Start (Even After Jump-Start)
If a jump-start doesn’t work or the issue returns, it may be related to the starter, alternator, or deeper electrical fault.
4. Transmission or Brake Failure
If you notice gear slipping, brake unresponsiveness, or unusual noises, stop driving and arrange a tow immediately. These issues can be dangerous.
5. Flat Tire Without a Spare
If you don’t have a usable spare, tools, or are in an unsafe location to change a tire, a tow truck can safely transport your car.
6. Vehicle Stuck in Basement or Sand
Cars stuck in tight parking areas, ramps, or desert sand require specialized recovery tow trucks.
7. Transporting a Non-Registered, Damaged, or Auctioned Vehicle
Need to move a car that isn’t registered, doesn’t run, or is newly purchased? Use a tow truck to get it to its destination legally and safely.
