Job Description

*Make simple repairs such as replacing flat tires or spark plugs, jumping batteries, and fixing disconnected or broken wires. If the problem is an empty fuel tank, provide a few gallons to get the customer to a safe place.

*Attach cables, chains or other equipment and winch the vehicle to towing elevation or onto the truck flatbed. Connect any necessary lights to the back of the vehicle.

*Tow the vehicle safely to the house, service station or impound or tow lot. You must observe all traffic laws and drive at a safe speed for the weather and road conditions.

*Accept and record payments and provide a receipt. Note the services rendered, cost of the services and the payment method.

*Create reports of each service call. These usually include the date, time and location of the service, information about the car, a description of the services you performed and the distance you towed the vehicle.
