Light Duty Towing in Pleasant Hills, PA
Your car will not start in a parking lot off Route 51, or it started grinding on Lebanon Church Road and you are not driving it another mile. Light duty towing gets it to the shop.
Short answer: Proactive Roadside Assistance provides light duty towing in Pleasant Hills and the South Hills for cars, SUVs, pickups and minivans, to your home, mechanic or dealer. Available day and night. Call (412) 943-7116.
What Counts as Light Duty?
Light duty towing covers the everyday vehicles most South Hills drivers own: sedans, coupes, hatchbacks, small and midsize SUVs, minivans, and half-ton pickups. If it fits in a normal driveway and you drive it with a regular license, it is almost always a light duty tow.
Bigger vehicles, like box trucks, work vans with heavy shelving or full-size pickups pulling a trailer, may need medium duty towing instead. Tell us the year, make and model when you call and we sort it out for you.
Common Reasons for a Light Duty Tow
- The engine will not start, and a jump start did not fix it.
- A warning light, smoke or a new noise that makes driving unsafe.
- A minor accident that left the car hard to steer or leaking fluid.
- A flat with no usable spare, or a wheel that is damaged.
- A car that has sat for months and needs to go to a mechanic.
Wheel Lift or Flatbed?
For many front-wheel drive cars a wheel lift tow is fine. For all-wheel drive vehicles, low sports cars, luxury cars and cars with accident damage, we use a flatbed so all four wheels ride off the road. If you are not sure what your car needs, ask us. It is part of the call.
Towing Around the South Hills
We are based on Curry Hollow Road in Pleasant Hills, so Route 51, Lebanon Church Road, Old Clairton Road and the neighborhoods around them are our everyday ground. We also tow from West Mifflin, Jefferson Hills, Baldwin, Bethel Park, Whitehall, Clairton and South Park. Steep driveways and narrow streets are normal here, and we plan the hook-up around them.
What to Have Ready When You Call
- Your location. The street and cross street, the parking lot, or the road and direction you were heading.
- The vehicle. Year, make and model, and whether it rolls and shifts into neutral.
- Where it is going. The address of the shop, dealer or home.
- Keys. If you will not be there, tell us where the keys will be.
