I am looking for a very affordable towing service to help me tow my car about 3.5 miles from where I live. I am located in the city center if that helps. Please comment with your suggestions.
For short towing within the city, you can find local guys, but I advise you to look wider, especially if there is a chance that you will have to transport the car further, choose towing companies from short trips to how to tow a car across the country . There are licenses, insurance, experience, reviews. Even for 3.5 miles, it's better to take those who do not pull the price and do not break the suspension when loading. It's safer to ride on a platform than on a rigid hitch.
I agree, even if you only tow the car a couple of miles, saving on a tow truck is more expensive. Local "garage" guys often do not have a license, insurance and have questionable equipment. And then you wonder where the scratches came from or why the gearbox stalls.
