Practical guides on car insurance, roadside safety, vehicle maintenance, and what to do when things go wrong on the road.
Welcome to the Honeycutt Towing blog. We've been towing vehicles, jump-starting batteries, changing tires, and recovering cars across Birmingham and Central Alabama for over 35 years. In that time, we've answered the same questions thousands of times: Does my insurance cover towing? What should I do after an accident? How do I sell my old car? What's a fair tow price?
This blog is where we share what we've learned. Every article is written from real experience — actual situations our drivers see every day on Birmingham roads. We focus on what's useful, not what ranks. If something doesn't apply to Birmingham drivers or local conditions, we leave it out.
If you're stranded right now, don't read — call us at 877-729-6639. If you're researching for next time, the articles below cover the most common situations we get called out for.
