Warming Up Around Harford County

What a surprise!

Temps seem to be warming up slightly, 38 degrees today and predicted

45 degrees on Sunday with sunshine both days!

Perhaps it's time to head outdoors.  This might

be the perfect weekend to work on

your property if you sustained damage

during the recent snowstorm.

As a matter of fact Harford County Permit Fees have

been waived from January 25th - March 7th,

allowing residents with single family homes, townhomes, 

detached garages and sheds to make repairs

without having to get a permit.

Story Here

Make it a great weekend......

and remember, if you run into

car trouble give us a call.

We're Local.  We're Ready.

Shout Out for Charlie!

 Just a quick note to let you know that one of your drivers who helped us today, went above and beyond the call of duty; his name is Charlie.

We live on Heaps Road and the snow plowing that was done was insufficient for us to drive up the steap hill toward 543.  Our car slid backwards into a snow bank, and after trying (unsuccessfully)  to dig out, we knew we were stuck.

We called AAA for roadside assistance, and it was our good luck that Charlie from George's showed up.  Not only was he prompt, but he was very polite, knew what to do, and even helped us with driving on the thin ice that was now coating Heaps Road as a result of the melting snow.

This man is a definite asset to your business !   

THANK YOU, CHARLIE ! ! !

--

From LisaAnne Madden

 George's Custom Towing could not be happier!  We love when customers take the time to send a thank you note.  We especially love when one of our team members has gone over and above, as Charlie did in this situation.

Winter Driving

Preparing for Winter Driving 

How to Drive in Snow and Ice

The three key elements to safe winter driving are:

• Stay alert; 
• Slow down; and 
• Stay in control

It is best to winterize your vehicle before winter strikes.  

Schedule a maintenance check-up for the vehicle’s tires and tire pressure, 

battery, belts and hoses, radiator, oil, lights, brakes, exhaust system, 

heater/defroster, wipers and ignition system. Keep your gas tank 

sufficiently full – at least half a tank is recommended. Depending upon 

where you drive, you may consider using winter tires or tire chains.

Uninsured Motorists

I came across this article this morning about cracking down

on uninsured motorists  Article.

People don't often think about the other guy not having insurance........

until your vehicle is involved in an accident

with an uninsured motorist.

Well, it happened to me many years ago and let me tell you

it was a hard lesson to learn.  At the time I was driving

a brand new vehicle, with a 60 month car loan to boot.

This guy came out of nowhere, barrelling into my front end

sending me spinning in the middle of a major intersection.

This motorist was uninsured!  The only thing that saved

me is that I had just added uninsured motorists insurance

onto my State Farm policy.............just in case.

Well it most certainly helped me at the time and I've continued

to carry this uninsured/underinsured additional

insurance, and yes it's expensive.

Now would be a good time to review your policy, icy

roads and snow could very easily set you or

the other driver in a spin causing multi-vehicle

damages.

If you're in Harford, Cecil or York County and 

having car trouble give us a call!

Tow Truck Driver Critically Injured

 A tow truck driver was critically injured in Frederick, MD

just a few nights ago.  Along I 70 while loading a vehicle, an

on-coming vehicle went into the shoulder of the road

and into the tow truck driver.

ARTICLE HERE

The law states if you see a tow truck driver on the shoulder, 

you must move into an open lane away from the tow truck 

or slow down to a safe speed.

This is the same law protecting first responders; police, 

emergency vehicles and now tow trucks.

As we approach the holiday season let's all be more aware
on the road.

Let's keep it safe for

I'm thinking Winter has arrived........

oooh, it's a bit on the cold side this morning!  Your car is feeling it too.........

don't get caught with a car that won't start in the cold weather.

Plug it in, plug it in!  Get yourself an electric block heater for your engine

 that you plug in over night. Keeps the oil warm and the battery charged,

 so your car starts in the morning!

You can also plug in a pair of electric gloves or socks,

right into a USB port on your computer or using 

the USB connector in your car.

Wild stuff!

Protocol says don't put

yourself in harm's way, but sometimes

in order to make a difference, you have to break the rules. 

Even though Justin De Cesari from Aaliyah's Towing, Denver, CO.

was towing a mini RV, that didn't stop him from 

swinging into action and following the hit and run

driver.  With lights blaring the tow truck was able to

detain the vehicle until the police arrived.
