We recently asked if you had heard of Tow and Go. The results surprised us.

A majority of respondents said they had never heard of the program.

Here is what you need to know:
βœ… Free tow service for eligible disabled vehicles on participating Houston-area freeways
βœ… Helps move vehicles out of traffic and return to a safe location
βœ… Available 24/7

If your vehicle becomes disabled on a freeway, call (713) 881-3333 or visit towandgo.com.

You may not need it, but it is a number worth saving before you do.
