We often get asked by our clients, ‘what is the difference between towing and recovery services?’ It’s an extremely common question. In the following article, we’re going to break down the difference between standard towing and recovery towing. Although the two are different, sometimes they go hand in hand with each other.

So, what’s the difference between vehicle towing and vehicle recovery? Let’s take a look!

What is Vehicle Towing?

If your vehicle breaks down on the side of the road, for whatever mechanical reason, or perhaps it runs out of fuel, you may need vehicle towing services. Sometimes mechanical repairs can be made on the side of the road. However, often the vehicle is in a dangerous position on the side of the highway, and it’s not safe to conduct repairs.

In this circumstance, you would need vehicle towing. Standard vehicle towing equipment such as a flatbed truck or tow truck would be used to hook up your vehicle. Next, it would be towed back to the depot or to a mechanical workshop. Towing vehicles is usually quite straight forward. Here at 1st.
