Towing

With the recent news of FACEBOOK going public with its stock, it got me to thinking about the uses of FACEBOOK in our small business but also for customers and people who spend some time on the social media network. Yarbrough Bros Towing has had a company page on FACEBOOK for a couple years now and it is mostly there for friends and family to keep in touch, hear road warnings and alerts and play some fun games to win Yarbrough Bros Towing sweatshirts, t shirts or hats every now and then.

The other day we here at Yarbrough Bros Towing received a a call to Tow a Isuzu box truck from Cloverdale up north to Santa Rosa. Now a bit of back ground on types of towing.

Earlier this week I received a call to go recover a riding lawnmower in the north part of Santa Rosa. I headed up that way and was advised by dispatch that the company that had called me, mentioned that i would have to go about an 1/8 of a mile off the road to the lake to get this lawn mower. Well, the reason this was necessary is that the lawnmower had driven/slipped into the lake up there and was not easily accessible. They wanted to know if I could bring about a 150 feet of 'cable". Well, two of the Yarbrough Bros Towing Wreckers have just about that much.

In the last week and a half, we here at Yarbrough Bros Towing have been called to two separate incidents involving a vehicle into a house collision/accident. The first recovery was off of Boyd & Sebastopol Rd in Santa Rosa where a import somehow lost control ran over a small tree & slid sideways into the porch & another tree causing some significant front end damage to the car. SRPD was on scene and authorized Yarbrough Bros Towing to recover the vehicle and then tow it to our facility for storage.

Earlier this week I was in the Lobby of a Dealership that we tow for and I came across some informational literature that we here at Yarbrough Bros Towing felt would be beneficial to our friends and customers. So here it is;

"Proper tire inflation pressure is the specified air pressure given by a carmaker for a certain tire on a specific vehicle. This pressure specification should not be confused with a tire's maimum pressure, which is usually listed on the tire's sidewall"...Car Care Council.

Hello there Santa Rosa. I mentioned yesterday about a recovery I did several months ago where the CHP called us out to get it as the first responding company, Santa Rosa Towing, according the the customer, could not find it the day before under AAA. Now this could have been due to bad weather, maybe it was dark out, I do not know, I do know that this time, CHP & the vehicle owner were going to meet me at the corner of Old Redwood Highway to have me follow them up to the loss scene.

One of my friends the other day asked me "i bet you see all kinds of crashes in your business" which got me thinking about the topic of today's blog. Accident response in the Towing world.
