Ever wonder why drivers in Tulsa call for a tow truck? At Tulsa Wrecker, we’ve seen just about everything. From minor mishaps to major breakdowns, here are the top five reasons locals need a tow — and how you can stay ahead of trouble:
- Dead Battery
Frequent in both freezing winters and hot Oklahoma summers.
Avoid it: Test your battery every 6–12 months. Keep jumper cables handy or call us for a fast jump start. - Locked Keys in the Car
Surprisingly common — at gyms, gas stations, or right in your driveway.
Avoid it: Use keyless entry apps or reminders. If it happens, we offer quick, damage-free unlocks 24/7. - Engine Overheating or Mechanical Failure
Breakdowns often occur on Hwy 75, I-44, and other high-traffic routes.
Avoid it: Regular maintenance and watching your fluid levels can prevent costly tows. - Flat Tire — No Spare
Many new cars don’t come with a spare tire anymore.
Avoid it: Keep a portable inflator or patch kit on hand. And if you’re stuck, we’re just a call away. - Stuck in a Ditch or Mud
Common during spring storms and flash floods around Tulsa.
Avoid it: Steer clear of muddy shoulders and avoid driving through standing water. For winch-outs, we’re ready 24/7.
