How Long Will it be Before the Towing Company Arrives?

Where is my Car Being Towed?
The right towing company will take the vehicle anywhere you want within a certain radius of the pickup location. Some companies charge per mile, keep this in mind when deciding where you need the vehicle to be taken. If the party being towed is not asked where they want the vehicle towed, this often might indicate that it is being taken to a towing yard; or worse, it is a scam.
