How to Handle Your Car Breaking Down | Cash for Cars Atlanta


If you find yourself stranded in your vehicle, it is important that you get off the road! Move your automobile as far as possible off the road to ensure your safety and your car’s safety. Take extreme caution getting your car off the road if your vehicle is near or approaching traffic. Be sure to exit your car through the door that faces away from traffic if you are on the side of the road. You need to put your personal safety first and move away from your vehicle to a safe location. If you can’t get help quickly, then lock your car doors and leave a note on your windshield in case roadside assistance or the police come by the vehicle. Make your vehicle as visible as possible, but out of the way.

You should also turn on the hazard lights at the moment you realize that your vehicle isn't functioning correctly. When you have stopped try to use any warning signals you have available, including flares, a hazard triangle, or a warning light, to alert any other drivers that your vehicle is immobile. Put the warning behind the vehicle to make it noticeable that your vehicle has broken down. If you need police assistance, raise the hood to your car or wrap a white or visible fabric on the door handle. 

Exercising good judgment and caution can save your life. You may want to be very weary of accepting help from strangers and only as an absolute last option.  Contact the police, roadside rescue or a trusted tow company rather than accepting help from someone you don’t know. If you have a car that’s constantly breaking down, you may want to invest in a new car. We will buy your old car, even if it’s not running. We pay top dollar and offer fast, free pick up.
