EMERGENCY TIPS TO STAY SAFE WHILE YOU WAIT
Vehicle trouble can be stressful, especially along busy roads or during dangerous weather. While you wait for Central Iowa Towing & Recovery to arrive, these steps can help you remain safe:
- Move to safety: If possible, pull over to the shoulder or a safe area away from traffic.
- Stay visible: Turn on hazard lights, raise your hood if safe, and place reflective triangles or flares behind your vehicle.
- Stay inside in unsafe conditions: On highways or in poor visibility, remain inside your vehicle with seatbelts fastened.
- Prepare documents: Have your driver’s license, registration, and any service details ready for the operator.
- Limit distractions: Refrain from trying DIY roadside repairs in unsafe areas, especially at night or during poor weather.
- Call for updates: If your situation changes, notify our dispatch so we can adapt and keep you secure.
These steps not only help protect you but also make the recovery faster once our operator arrives. We also remind all drivers to obey Iowa’s Slow Down, Move Over law when approaching emergency vehicles.

PREPARED FOR TOUGHEST SEASONAL CHALLENGES
Hamilton County drivers experience unique seasonal challenges that affect towing needs throughout the year. Understanding these risks helps explain why professional roadside support is so critical in this region:
- Winter ice and snow: Bridges over the Boone River and rural gravel roads freeze quickly, leading to spinouts and ditch extractions.
- Spring flooding: Water from seasonal rains and river swells can make low-lying roads impassable, stranding both cars and farm vehicles.
- Summer heat: High temperatures cause blowouts and overheating, particularly for heavy trucks hauling on Highway 20.
- Harvest season: Agricultural traffic increases the number of large tractors, trailers, and implements on local roads, raising the demand for specialized recovery services.
Because of these seasonal challenges, Central Iowa Towing & Recovery maintains a year-round readiness plan. We adjust staffing, stage equipment in strategic locations, and prepare specialized rigs so that no matter what the season brings, Webster City drivers have fast, reliable support at any hour.
We provide a complete line of towing and recovery services designed for every situation and every type of vehicle.
