In this article we’ll take you through the ins and outs of using a tow truck service and why you should choose the safety, security and fair pricing of Mach2. We’ll start by talking about general prices for calling out a tow truck and for changing a tire. We’ll also go in-depth as to what you’ll be paying depending on a variety of conditions. Then, we’ll discuss whether you can negotiate with your tow truck driver, if insurance will cover a tow, and what tow truck drivers are earning these days. We hope that all of the information in this article will help you before you get stranded on the side of the road and will keep you safe and secure.
With Mach 1, you’ll no longer need a subscription for roadside service and annual membership. Instead, your use an on-demand roadside app that matches and automatically sends out a local roadside provider to your location based on your car’s problem, from tire changes, to lockouts to jumpstarts. The app is quick and easy to use. Never again will you have to wait on hold, hoping that someone picks up soon. And Mach2 works with a talented network of garages, tow trucks, auto locksmiths and more, so that your repair is done quickly and accurately.
We’ve looked at different tow truck prices throughout the country. And we found that tow trucks generally charge a minimum rate, usually around $50. The cheapest we found was $35 for a tow of less than 5 miles and the most expensive was $600 for a tow of 100 miles. Remember, however, that prices vary depending on your location. But, if you use the Mach2 app, you’ll only pay the fair market price of the region you are in.
You won’t have to worry about price gauging or hidden extras. And you don’t pay until the service is complete!
Depending on the type of tire you have, a tow truck driver will charge around $50 to change it. The minimum cost for a tow truck to come out to your location is around $50. Again, the advantage of using the Mach2 app to have a service provider come out to your location to fix your tire is that you’ll pay the going rate and not a cent more. And you’ll know what the price will be before you confirm the service you want.
Before a tow truck driver can quote you a price to tow your car, they’ll need to take 3 factors into account:
You’ll pay between $95 to have an average car towed for the first 5 to 10 miles. You’ll pay $2 to $4 for each mile over that.
If you need to be towed after hours (usually between 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.), you could pay up to $150 extra! Also, if you drive a larger or heavy-duty vehicle, you could pay between 20 to 25% more for a tow. To avoid unnecessary markups, check out how a tow truck works and go with the roadside service you can trust. Choose Mach2 and you’ll know the price you’re going to pay is fair.
If you have a roadside assistance plan, you could pay an average yearly rate of between $52 to $122 per year; towing will most likely be included. Towing distance allowed will vary; check with your plan before you choose a location where you want to have your car towed to. But why pay for a yearly service that you may never use? It’s much easier and more efficient to use the Mach2 app.
You may be able to negotiate a price with an independent tow truck driver. But, for the most part, if you don’t have free towing through your roadside service plan or full auto insurance coverage, you’ll have to pay a fee just like you would for any tow truck company.
However, there’s no need to worry about negotiating or paying for a yearly plan anymore. Just use the Mach2 app to know you’ll pay a fair price each and every time.
But, remember, if you need to get towed after a car accident, and the accident wasn’t your fault, the auto insurance of the driver who was a fault may pay for your towing. It depends on which state you reside in. Know what is covered before you get out on the road. But, even if towing isn’t covered on your policy, Mach2 will always have your back. With just a couple clicks, you can order a tow truck. It’s as easy as that.
It’s cold and rainy and your car is dead on the side of the road. Thankfully, your AAA tow truck driver got to you quickly and got you and your car safely to a garage. You may be so impressed with their service that you’re wondering whether they accept tips. There’s really no right or wrong when it comes to tipping your tow truck driver. We checked around and Insurify.
com says that if you feel that your tow truck driver did an exceptional job, you could tip them $10.
Insurify also suggests that you could tip the AAA tow truck driver 10% of the cost for a tow truck. We’re a tipping culture, so there’s no reason you couldn’t tip your AAA tow truck driver. But, remember, no one is forcing you to, so if you feel like you can’t afford it, then it’s no problem not to tip!
Depending on your insurance, towing is a part of your auto insurance. Check with your insurance provider to make sure you have towing. You may need full coverage: collision, comprehensive and liability insurance to have access to towing. Towing will most likely be provided by your car insurance’s roadside assistance program, however. AAA’s roadside assistance program, for instance, will tow a car up to 10 miles. As we said above, if your battery is dead or you don’t have a spare tire, and you’re stuck on the side of the road with a flat, there’s no need to worry whether a tow is covered by your insurance.
Mach2’s tow truck providers will be there before you know it and they’ll get your car to a garage for repairs so that a major headache will only be a minor inconvenience.
Tow truck driver wages generally hover around $16.50 throughout most of the U.S. That is over $35,500 per year. The highest pay rate we could find was in Livermore, California, with an hourly wage of $19.19 and an annual salary of $39,915. And the lowest pay rate for tow truck drivers we found was $14.29 in El Paso, Texas. That comes out to a yearly wage of $29,659.
No one ever wants their car to break down on the side of the road. But, with Mach2’s roadside service app, you’ll never have to worry again about being stranded. Our GPS technology finds the nearest service provider because we want to get you back on the road as quickly and safely as possible. We’re a customer-oriented company and we’re in the business to help.
We also hope that by detailing what it takes to get your car towed, you’ll be able to compare what the other guys do, and you’ll know that Mach2 is the best. In fact, the general prices we talked about for calling out a tow truck and for changing a tire show that nothing beats Mach2. Our prices are fair, and our service providers are the best around. And by going in-depth as to what you’ll be paying depending on a variety of conditions, we hope you’ll become better educated as to what you’ll actually be shelling out. Of course, if you’re not using the Mach2 app, you may find that you’re paying for hidden extras and things you didn’t agree to. Also, with our tips on whether you could negotiate with your tow truck driver, if insurance will cover a tow, and, if you’re interested in a new career, what tow truck drivers are earning these days, we hope you learned some useful information that you can take with you on the road. If this article does one thing, we hope it helps you make more informed decisions.
Stay safe out there!
Roadside assistance costs anywhere between $50 and $360. Roadside assistance doesn't cover the cost of repair or replacement of the tire. Depending on the issue, you may be able to have your tired patched for free, or you're going to have to shell out for a new tire entirely.
Roadside assistance is a service that can be a lifesaver. It allows you to call on someone to help you when you need it. Did your tire go flat, and you don't have a jack? Call for roadside assistance, and they should have one on their trucks. Even if you don't think you need it, it's better to have it and not need it than not have it and need it.
Roadside assistance covers typically any help you may need when your car breaks down. It doesn't pay for repairs or replacements, however. Here are some examples
You have plenty of options for roadside assistance. Insurance companies offer policy options that include roadside assistance. Auto clubs offer memberships that include it as well. Even some credit cards have a service line for vehicle malfunctions. Some of the more popular options are:
The most prominent thought when adding something to your policy or purchasing new coverage is money. Most companies offer a base roadside assistance at around $50, but some can reach as high as $400 based on the company. The roadside assistance doesn't pay for repairs and replacements, though. Here are some possible costs.
Learning how to change a flat tire can help you save your day or someone else's. It would be best to have a tire iron, a jack, your spare tire, and gloves. For increased safety, use a jack stand to replace your jack once the car off the ground.
You should position the jack under a piece of the car's frame and begin to lift the vehicle. Don't lift the car too high, just enough to get the tire you're changing off the ground.
Undo the lug-nuts with the tire iron. Once all the nuts are off, place the tire in a safe spot.
The more natural way to make sure the tire goes on correctly is not to angle it.
Once the tire is on the axle, it is time for the lug-nuts.
When putting the lug-nuts back on the tire, it's best to work in a star formation. This action is straightforward on a tire with 5 lug-nuts. If your car has more or less than 5, remember you want to be working on the lug across from the previous one.
When lowering the car, turn the jack handle slowly. Do this because if you did mess up, all of the vehicle's weight isn't on the tire when you notice the fault.
When it comes to car insurance, there are several factors to consider beyond monthly cost. A policy that covers you when you need it, has a low deductible, and offers several discounts can be hard to find - which is why we've done the work for you.

Are your car's tires out of date? Have you accidentally damaged them on the road and are they beyond repair? Our car service offers you a quick and high-quality tire replacement with a guarantee.
Advantages of "ADS-service":
Tire change date not set. Rubber should be replaced twice a year, when winter is replaced by spring and autumn is replaced by winter, at an air temperature of +5° to +10°.
Winter tires are soft and flexible, they allow you to keep good grip on winter road surfaces at temperatures below 0°. When spring comes and warm weather, winter tires float on hot asphalt. As a result, it wears out faster, grip decreases and stopping distance increases. nine0004
The structure of the material from which summer tires are made is harder than that of winter tires.
At sub-zero temperatures, the summer tire becomes stiffer, as a result of which the wheels begin to slip, grip weakens and the braking distance almost doubles.
One way or another, we advise you to change your tires on time to protect yourself, your family and others, and also feel confident on the roads of Moscow and the region. nine0004

When it is worth changing summer tires to winter tires, drivers are always prompted by the weather forecast. Since there are no legal norms at what time to do this. And although we are not promised snow yet, I would not recommend waiting for it in order to change the shoes of your car. It is a bad idea. After all, on a slippery road it is very easy to lose control of the car. And then you have to go to the service station not only to replace tires, but also to repair the body.
Everyone knows that it's time to change tires when the average daily temperature has reached 7 degrees. It was then that summer tires no longer “work”. It is very dangerous to ride them. So how much does it cost to change a car in 2020? How much will you have to pay for replacing summer tires with winter ones in Kyiv, Dnipro, Lvov, Vinnitsa, Zaporozhye and other cities of our country.
From this article you will find out the prices in each region. nine0004
Pick up tires and wheels for car
Typically, car owners turn to tire fitting when they have one set of wheels and two sets of tires. That is, the tires need to be reboarded. This procedure implies that the tire fitting worker will remove the summer kit and put on the winter one. It also needs to be balanced. This is standard procedure. It happens that even the disks need some kind of repair or cleaning. You will have to pay extra for this separately. If you only stopped by to “change shoes”, be prepared to spend about 40 minutes of your time. True, if you come by appointment. On a first-come, first-served basis, time can stretch for several hours. nine0004
Is there a price difference depending on the tire diameter?
Yes. I will give statistics on the example of Vinnitsa car services. Having taken an interest in prices, I can say that on average it turns out like this:
Statistics given for passenger cars - tire change on light alloy wheels (R16) plus balancing.
By the way, the price also depends on the class of the car. For SUVs, SUVs, minivans will be more expensive. It turns out that the larger the car and the size of the wheels itself, the more expensive. But from the type of disks - casting or steel - the price practically does not change. If your tires are on steel rims, the price remains either the same, or the difference fluctuates around minus 20-50 hryvnia.
Below on the chart you will see the prices in the regional centers of Ukraine. They are average for passenger cars on alloy wheels (R16). That is, you need to understand what can be a little cheaper or a little more expensive. There are cities that stand out with the highest prices. But in principle, plus or minus is the same throughout Ukraine. nine0004
Somehow, unexpectedly for me, it turned out to be the most expensive thing to wear a winter set in Lviv and Zhytomyr - 500 UAH and 490 UAH, respectively.
Khmelnitsky also stood out - 460 UAH, Kyiv - 450 UAH, Dnipro - 430 UAH. The cheapest is in Chernihiv - 340 UAH and Sumy - 350 UAH. However, see for yourself:
| City | Price (UAH) |
| Vinnitsa | 380 |
| Dnipro | nine0049 430|
| Zhytomyr | 490 |
| Uzhgorod | 360 |
| Zaporozhye | 370 |
| Ivano-Frankivsk | 380 |
| Kyiv | 450 |
| Kropivnitsky | 360 |
| Lviv | 500 |
| Lutsk | 360 |
| Nikolaev | 370 |
| Odessa | 410 |
| Poltava | 360 |
| Rivne | 400 |
| Sumy | 350 |
| Ternopil | 370 |
| Kharkiv | 400 |
| Kherson | 380 |
| Khmelnitsky | nine0049 460|
| Cherkasy | 370 |
| Chernivtsi | 400 |
| Chernihiv | 340 |
When calling service stations, some immediately offered discounts or some related services.
For example - a 20% discount on air conditioning maintenance in the spring, if they have their tires rebuilt now. And several tire shops said they could keep the winter tires for storage. In Vinnitsa, it costs about 100 UAH per month for 4 wheels without discs. Very handy if you have nowhere to store them at home. Because storage conditions are very important. It must be dry and clean. Tires must be laid in the correct position so that they do not experience uneven pressure and do not deform during downtime. And before that, they need to be washed and dried. nine0004
