1. Make Safety Your First Priority

If you can, carefully move your car off the road and turn on your hazard lights. Your safety comes first — no matter what else is happening. If your car can’t be moved, Kensleys Towing can guide you and send help quickly.

2. Take a Moment to Assess

Before panicking, notice what’s going on:

Are your dashboard lights on?
Any unusual sounds or smells?
Are there visible leaks or flat tires?

Even small details can help the towing team figure out the safest solution. This information helps when you call for roadside assistance or towing, but don’t worry if you’re unsure. It’s okay to say, “I’m not sure what’s wrong — my car just won’t start.”

3. Decide If Roadside Assistance Is Enough

Not every breakdown requires a tow. Kensleys Towing can help with:

Jump-starting a dead battery
Changing a flat tire
Unlocking a locked car
Fuel delivery if you run out

We’ll handle it professionally and carefully, right where you are.

4. Know When It’s Time to Call for a Tow

It’s time to call for towing if:

Your car won’t start at all
You’ve been in an accident
The vehicle isn’t safe to drive
You’re stuck in an unsafe location

Searching for “towing near me” or “24/7 towing in Port Orange, FL” will help you find local help quickly. Choosing a family-owned towing company like Kensleys Towing can make the experience feel far less stressful — especially when clear communication and care matter most.

5. Call a Local Port Orange Towing Company You Trust

When you call for help, here’s what a good towing or roadside service should do:

Listen first
Ask clear, simple questions
Explain what will happen next
Give you honest pricing upfront
Treat you and your vehicle with respect

If something feels rushed or unclear, it’s okay to pause and ask questions. You deserve to feel comfortable with the help you’re receiving.

6. While You Wait, Stay Visible and Aware

Until help arrives:

Keep your hazard lights on
Stay aware of passing traffic
Avoid standing between your vehicle and the road
If it feels safer, remain inside your car

If you’re feeling anxious, that’s completely normal. Help is coming.
